Which Dewalt is under consideration, their rotary or their PC-like RO sander? I sure wouldn't buy a rotary without also having a RO and I wouldn't buy one as my first polisher either. I learned to use a rotary first (way back in the day) and it's not an approach I'd recommend.

I prefer the Cyclo myself, but note that it doesn't work well with some products (e.g., Klasse AIO) and it won't do certain weird panel contours (e.g., some areas on my XJS that the PC *does* do).

FWIW, I simply find the Cyclo to be a pleasant tool to use, whereas I don't like using the PC. It's partially subjective/personal preference but there *is* a lot less vibration with the Cyclo.
