[schybrid]

I plan on buying the makita 9227 tomorrow. My questions are a few but simple ones,please help me out !!!



1. best price i found so far is, makita 9227c,$185 shipped. any better deals ?



2. does the makita come with backing plate needed etc ?



3. should i buy the one(makita) with the side handle or the over the top handle ?



4. Do typical Lake country 6`` pads fit this machine ?



5. I want to use menzerna polishes, but someone said they(menzerna) are "dusty" polishes, and i cant use a dusty polish because i have dry eyes,and cant get dust in them .



I appreciate anybody that can help.

I`m going out on a limb here and getting the makita instead of the Flex because i think its a little better machine.OR should i get the FLEX ?
