Granted you work for Rupes, that is still a mighty fine assortment of tools. Rupes should bring a battery operated, full size, long throw DA to the market.

I have a list of machines...

I recently picked up a 15 MKII (From Todd at Detail Fest 2016)
I did a car the other day and preferred the MKI 21 with a 5" BP and the KB washer mod.
I personally felt it performed better than the MKII - but hey that`s me.
Maybe it`s what your used to.

I feel the same way about my MKI 21 with a 5" backing plate. I thought I was just crazy, but you saying this makes me think otherwise.
 
I bought the Bigfoot 21. I can`t say it works any better than the Flex. It`s a nice design, it`s quiet. But for the money I spent, I might have been better off with another Flex. I had the money to spend and just wanted to try something different and jumped on the bandwagon.

The Rupes is just so much easier on the body. Doesnt beat you up so much. With back problems, thats a big deal.

+1... Since I bought my first Rupes, 2 years ago, I haven`t touch my Flex. And I don`t miss it one bit.

I haven`t gone to the MKII yet. I just use the 21 for the horizontal panels and the 15 for the vertical panels and the mini for difficult spots. I really want the Nano for interiors, wheels, mirror housings, and all the places I couldn`t get to before. I would love to have both the short and long neck versions, but that is crazy money. I am glad I waited until they worked the bugs out of the long neck version though. I hope I get the new and improved version.

What issues have the long neck have?
Only issues I had was
Cosmetic flaw
Battery charger not recognizing charged battery to switch to green light
Velcro to backing plate seperation..
