I own the Hitachi, I will also say price wise the Makita is a good choice, too.

They will both be heavier than the PC but not that bad IME. Moving to the rotary isn't quite as bad as most make it to be. As it has been said before; get some wool pads, especially for correction work. Anything more aggressive than LC white foam is much harder to control for me. IME LC Purple wool is great for correction, LC white, black and blue are my go to polishing pads.

I will also add 6.5" pads are easier, IMO, to control and to get into tight spaces.
