I was wondering how much do each of these units weigh? Which one do you guys think is the best? Which one is more comfortable to work with? What accessories do they come with? Any interesting info about them? Thanks.:)
 
I have the Makita 9227C (or something like that :p) but I recently borrowed a DeWalt to try out.



The DeWalt is more comfortable over all but the Makita's Handle makes it easier to apply pressure without increasing pad skip. Of course, I only had the DeWalt for a day so I wasn't able to get fully use to the different handle setup.



Either Machine is a good choice.
 
The Makita is lighter.



That is because it uses a smaller armature and some of the parts are plastic, where as on the DeWalt they are not. I have used both machines, if I had to choose I would go with the DeWalt.
