I have one of the big monster 2-handed buffers also. The problem with these buffers is the weight. It's an arm killer doing the sides of a vehicle, holding the buffer (i believe it's 8 lbs) out with extended arms. The PC 7424 is about 1/3 the weight, much smaller, and when you use it on the sides of a car, you're holding it upwards as opposed to outwards.
The Lowe's near my house had only the PC 7336 for $109 which is the same unit, but comes with a sander disc instead of the hook and loop backing pad and buffing pad that comes with the 7424. BTW - when you buy either unit, you'll still have to invest in some good buffing pads which can be quite expensive ($40-$80). Do your due diligence and shop around online to find the best deal. Here's 2 sources.

Wayne might have some items also or some recommended sources.
