I have a Porter Cable r/o 5" sander. About the same platform as the polisher. Mine is at least 20yrs old, was the first generation. At that time I paid close to $200 for it. Great tools.
As far as polishers, I would buy a Porter Cable. I have one from Griots Garage that I bought 6 or 7 yrs ago and it works fantastic. Well made machine but Im not sure they even sell them anymore.
IF, and that is a hard maybe if I can find a deal at Carlisle, I were to buy a new one it will be battery powered. I have seen some that look to be really nice. Battery powered tools are the way to go now, no cord to get in your way.
