Re: Flex 3401 vs Rotary

Also want to take this chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
To answer both of your question to the fullest;

Question A in your title :: If I (as an experienced user) was forced, I would choose rotary, due to it's absolutely superior correction abilities.

Question B in your post :: Since you are measuring the risks associated with a rotary, I highly recommend that you start with a Flex. I say this because you must get some experience with a rotary first if you are to use this machine 'right away', unless you have plenty of body panels and/or test vehicles than can have paint damage to practice on and destroy, I wouldn't go running into the world of rotary on your own daily drivers, or another owners' vehicle.

I am in no way implying you're going to be terrible, but learning a rotary is the time to let the damage be done. We all did it, however well we hide it.

With that said, I would not give up the rotary for the world, but I feel the need to remove any holograms with a PC/Flex. The Flex being the more effective, newer option.

Good luck sir.
