That plus, power ratings/efficiency.
I will speculate that it`s not 700 watts. If it produces 700 watts, it probably isn`t as efficient as the rupes. The difference is the rupes saves you money on the electric bill and probably runs smoother.
This power rating reminds me of LED torches; there are tons of companies that say 3000 lumens when in fact they are under driven with crappy diodes and put out a ton less. It`s a very well known thing in the LED world that "Chinese lumens" are about 2/3 of actually advertised, were as the real deal companies put out lower but accurate numbers.
rupes 15mark2 and rupes mini is the only thing i reach for during polishing

I`d get the Rupes Mini. That and the Nano are about the only polishers on the market that I might add to my accumulation.

I was thinking of ordering the EnS version of that; the only downside is you need a 220/240 volt connection. I have a step up/down converter so that I can run foreign machines like this. It`s a small investment around 70-90$ but honestly well worth it if you have more than one machine from outside the US.
I personally think it`s a great investment if you like foreign tools, the ergonomics are 10x better than what we have here stateside.
I have this incredible piece of kit and far stronger than my 12v Bosch + it`s a 2 in 1.

I vote with The Driver ---
Any rotary that soft-starts from 600 and goes to 3500, is totally smooth, does not "throw" itself into anything, can be easily modified with a simple spacer to allow it to work in really small places AND give you a great view of your work, is what I would get ...
But then, I still wear a Rotary Power Shirt..
Your PE8 is nice but it starts at 1300rpm.. I hardly ever need to use that high a speed... And that`s another reason why I never have any compound sling to clean up..
I have a PE14-2-150 purchased when they first came out.. Its a nice smaller machine for sure... It has a lot of gear noise that I didn`t particularly like hearing..
Since it IS so small and light, I hardly ever use it anyway..
I want a big heavy 10lb machine to help me put more appropriate-for-the-paintwork-pressure down to correct quickly and completely..
Good luck with your research !
