If you buy a PC "package", you will still need to buy backing plates for whatever correction system you select, so go with the least expensive PC you find. Unless you can use the accessories in other applications.
I use the 7346 SP from LOWE'S

If you want more power and a trigger that allows you to control the speed, and far less vibration then yes. The 3401 is basically a hybrid of a rotary and the PC. Plus it's built well, and quite frankly cut the polish times on my cars in half. That said, I see where the Flex is now running about $320 on several sites. That's getting pretty steep in the price category. However, I looked at it this way when getting the Flex: How many cars will I polish, how much time do I want to spend, and what quality of polisher do I want? Plus the newer microfiber pads are making it an even more efficient polisher.

The SP does come w/ a foam pad, but I would not use it on the finish of a Corvette.
