The Makita seems to have more power but does not have the adjustable speed trigger. However it does have a speed dial near the back of the machine to change speeds on the fly, it has a switch to convert the machine from forced rotary to just random orbit, and the makita is selling for about $30.00 less.
Removed contact info per community rules -- db | This is reason enough to sway me to keep my Makita especially since I already have Edge pads and LOVE them. I was debating on trying to sell my Makita and go with the Flex due to its trigger location but I think I am going to reconsider.
