Just to add to it, the backing plate for the Makita will have female threads unlike the male threads of the PC. The diameter is also larger.
Let us know how you like the Makita!
p.s. The Makita also works great for drying pads after cleaning. I clean the pads, rinse them, stick them on the Makita and spin them on speed 6 into a bucket, so I don't get soaked.
