In terms of upgrading, less is more with these three polishers.
A flex polisher would give me faster results and with better ergonomics, so in my opinion, I would consider that an upgrade over a PC. You know as well as I, that technique is everything. You can technically removed more clear than necessary with a PC if used incorrectly. By that same token, you can achieve the same level of repair with the Flex polisher without taking more clear than necessary.... if done correctly. I guess my point is, speed has nothing to do with the end result. The PC is technically safer since it's not correcting as fast, but the Flex would allow me to tackle heavy corrections in a lot less time than a PC.
