Yes there are two distributors on the Easy coast I know of that will sell it between $300-320. If you call the number on the Flex North America site they will provide you with Distributors in your area.

You should contact Zoran C (he's a forum member) as he has the Festool and likes it a lot. But he was also considering getting the Flex and it was built for cars while the Festool is really built for wood.

the Flex tool RO was just released not long ago...and was designed for the Auto polishing as they say ...

I am going to call flex and get some info on the machine...I talked to a guy in Sweden who works in a MB dealership and he uses one and said its a great tool...but he also has a Top Tool he likes also...its powered by a Flex Tool...

Similar specs to PC/UDM? There is nothing similar to PC/UDM in XC 3401 VRG. They are not even remotely close. PC is 3.7amp. 3401 is 7.5. OPMs on PC/UDM are up to 6000opm. 3401 up to 9600. 3401 has action mode that is similar to rotary. PC/UDM do not. They are completely different.

3401 is, like Al said, designed and marketed solely toward automotive industry for paint polishing.
