Thanks for the link. The video they had on there actually showed the Cyclo polisher and its negatives.

These two are about the same price. Which one should I get?

Skip them both and get a better longer lasting polisher: FLEX XC 3401 VRG

Hunt around for a package and price that looks good to you. Here's a place to start: FLEX Kits

I have the Porter Cable, a Makita rotary, and the FLEX. Love the FLEX!

Here's a nice series of Porter Cable kits: Porter Cable Kits

I'd buy the Porter Cable over the Griot's Garage polisher.

Depending on how much you are really going to use the polisher I would recommend the Porter Cable as a first choice, and the FLEX as prosumer polisher.

you should get one of each. one 6" one and one 3" one. that's the way to do it, not one does it all product cause you'll need to remove the backing plate each time you change pad size.

having 2 units has its benefits especially when you want to spot detail. the 3" one is a random orbital as you want it (not a direct drive).
