What will set them apart is NVH levels and ofcourse price.

    Re: IN STOCK - NEW FLEX XFE 7-12 80 aka the NEW FLEX 3" Mini Polisher

    The price of this 3" polisher comes across as insulting to consumers; and as someone said previously pretty steep for a weekend warrior (in my words, hobbyist).

    I'm very happy I purchased my Flex 3401 4 years ago and with the 4" backing plate. I rarely use my Griot's 3" polisher as a result. Clearly, my money moves elsewhere...
