Doc,
I own the Makita, the Porter Cable and the Cyclo. The Cyclo is the better of the three by far. The only complaint I have about it is that it is not variable speed (I'm sure it could be made variable speed if I wasn't an electronic imbecile). It is far better balanced and vibrates far less than the Porter Cable. By the way, the Griot's polisher is a Porter Cable, just prettied up for Rich Griot.
I've owned my Cyclo for at least 10 years. At first, I could only get two types of pads for it. Now, they sell all the different pads, yellow, orange, green, white, blue and black.
