$25 REBATE from Porter Cable in April!!
BUT, you only get it if you spend $150 or more on TOOLS (not a polisher & a few backing plates, I checked!!). And it`s $50 back if you spend $300 or more!
As the 7424 polisher is only about $120 most places, I went with the 97366 "kit" for $150

It has the dust collection hood, hose AND a case (!!), and of course, it`s ends up costing only $125 plus $7.50 shipping. The dust stuff is great for sanding, and I figure I`ll want a better backing pad than PC`s anyways!
BUT, if you want the polisher AND you can get another PC TOOL or two (not accessories!!), Coastal has THE best deal on the 7424....only $119 and they GIVE you an extra PC contour backing plate ($18) and a 6" counterweight ($3) as a bonus!!

Lastly, they had a special metal case "made" for the 7424, and it`s only $20 (it sucks that PC dosen`t give you the cheapie plastic case!!).
