I guess the 2 real questions (as you answered the main one, can it correct with ease) are: is it substantially less vibration and noise (neighbors appreciate that) than a PC? Lastly, it sounds like you will still use the PC to get in tight spots as it still has the best pad size flexibility and machine control in tight spots.

Howard,
Thanks much...I wanted to mention the noise level in my review and forgot. I've edited my review and added a section about noise level.

Regarding the vibrations...i'd say net/net the vibration are somewhat less with the Flex. Certainly not more than a PC. It wasn't so much that the vibrations decreased when I got comfortable...more the amount of hand strength required by me decreased as I got comfortable with the Flex. I don't want to sugar coat it, the Flex does vibrate and I did have some tingly hands at times. But I feel confident as I get better with the machine this will also improve.
