PC vs ???

I need to get a random orbital buffer, but I've been comparing different brands, types, etc.

Here's 1 that I looked at: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...9667_200319667

It's considerably cheaper, but I'm not sure if the rpm range is too low for it to be effective. Being that I am not a Pro and I will only be using it 2 or 3 times a year on the car, I have a hard time justifying spending $120+ on one.

What are benefits to a PC versus other brands like Makita, or Milwaukee?

If comparing 2 random orbit polishers with equal rpm ranges, if durability is the same, are they essentially equal? The cheap side of me wants to buy a ryobe 6" RO buffer for $40, then if it breaks, I can replace it 3 times and still pay the price of a PC. (I know that it is inferior...so we won't go there)

Finally (i think) what is the safest rpm range for use on paint in terms of effectiveness that will not burn the paint?

Can anyone vouch for a cheaper product that is still extremely effective?
