I do about 10 cars a week and I want to cut down on the time I spend on paint correction. The PC is OK except when it comes to soemhting requiring extra cutting power. I haven't got any proper exposure to rotary but willing to give it a try. However, if I can get away with the Flex, I thought why not.

I bought the Flex instead and love the machine. I sold my PC and I have no regrets.
The Flex is a very expensive machine though. Perhaps there is someone in LA area willing to lease it out for a week?
