An alternative to the Porter Cable Orbital

It look like Meguiars has developed a machine that has some real nice features. See what you think.

It also looks like Griot's Garage might be selling the same Meguiar's unit with their own name on it as well.

...after using my PC for the first time this last weekend, The $89+Shipping was a great deal. I am very happy. I have an assortment of the propercare backing plates and pads too which are very handy.
The Harbor Frieght circular I paid $18 for is going back today for a store credit.
That little gem lasted 3 hours...........pooof.

The two you show Dave look different than each other to me.
Comparitively priced to the PC's List price, I do like the bail handle rather than the side handle the PC has.
