Isn't the Shurhold S-3100 that is sold here by PAC the same unit as the Griots?
If it is, then the pricing here on Sale might be a great deal ? I don't know what PAC's warranty would be on the machine but I bet you can find out.
I don't have the Griot's but I have all the others including the Flex 3401VRG with the cut down backing plate,,
Guys what do you think ?
