I would buy the Rupes 21 and either a Griots or PC. I have the Flex and PC and it is really nice not to change backing plates.

 

i have the flex and the pc i was thinking to get the rupes cuz they finish very nice 

 

so i can use the flex to correct and the rupes to finish and the pc for interior

 

and maybe i'll get the rupes 75e mini but i dont know if it gonna work with adams 4" pads

 

what do you think

The Rupes machines all correct very well just like the Flex and the other machines out there.  They just do it a little 'faster' is all.  They have a longer 'throw' than some of the other machines out there.  I find it not necessary to have a Flex to 'correct', a Rupes to 'finish' and a pc for the interior.  Any one of those you mentioned will do it all, except the interior part-no brushes/attachments will fit the Flex/Rupes as far as I know. 

 

Nice to have if you want to/can do it, however, not necessary in my opinion.  (Now, I'm one to talk since I have almost every machine out there! LOL)

I have both the Flex 3401VRG and the Rupes 21.  They are both NASTY, and do a great job.  The Rupes is great on flat panels,as is the Flex, but I feel the Flex is the work horse that can do it ll.  I love both, but if I was told I could only have one, the Flex would be in my hand, no doubt.

Don't know about the mini...don't have one yet!  LOL.  As far as the 5" plate on the 21, I am using the Rupes pads as well as 5.5" Lake Country Hydro Techs without any issues.  The Rupes pads are 6" and are fantastic. 

 

Hope this helps ya!
