Here's a good price for the Porter Cable, this offer comes with the velcro backing plate to switch between polishing and finishing pads, this is usually not included.

I've tried searching their site, can't find it (at any price) there. You wouldn't happen to have a URL or SKU for it handy, would you?

No, it wasn't online. I saw it this week at my local Lowe's store.

OK, here you go. This is basically the one we're using only with a different models number that Lowe's carries. It is the identical unit. All you need is a velcro 6" backing plate and some good pads.

Thanks! The pricing turned out to be $105 w/tax at my local store. I ended up going with the Coastal Tool deal because it includes the accessories (other counterweight, velcro pad, buffer, etc.) in a $127 delivered price - should arrive Friday, ready to enable my first car cleanup day of the year this weekend.

I'd been sitting on the idea of getting the polisher for a while, thanks to you folks for giving me the inspiration to get me going.
