    I own the Cyclo and have no complaints but I believe the Flex is the better of the two. It has very strong dual action and variable speeds.

    Read reviews, it seems the consensus is the flex will correct more, faster. I ordered mine earlier this week :-)

    Flex= Porsche of true RO polishers. It puts a "PC" to shame. If you do not mind a machine the size of a rotary, this is the one.



    If you want one smaller, but same true RO effect, then get a Festool.



    These are serious machines for not only simple polishing, but paint correction as well w/o going to a true rotary.

    I ordered a Flex. I have a Makita rotary, Porter Cable D/A, and a Cyclo.





    I`m hoping the Flex can replace the Makita and Porter Cable on most of my jobs.
