Porter Cable 7336 or 7424

My local Lowes has the 7336 for about $100 but not the 7424. Any advantages to getting one or the other?

Looks like it's the same thing except for the pads. The 7424 is set up for polishing while the 7336 is set up for sanding.

Get the 7336 I have it and it is much better becuase you can polish with the extra power you have and yo ucan slow it down to apply wax and such. I reccomend it

They're EXACTLY the same machine except for the counterweight. Doesn't matter which one you get, the perform the same
