Nope, not excited. It's a marginal improvement, which is nice, but not worth upgrading to IMHO. The one thing that I like about it is that it is designed to stay in place when you put it down. My mark 1 has a tendency to fall on it's side all the time no matter how careful I am. I might just steal their idea and install rubber feet on the back of mine.
The longer cord is also nice, but I always use an extension cord, so for me it would make very little difference.
Progressive trigger... maybe if I used it I could see the benefit but really, I want the machine to run at the speed I set it at. 90% of the time I use the trigger lock so I don't have to squeeze that thing for hours at a time. I remember the first car I did, I did not use the trigger lock. After finishing the compounding and polishing I could barelly open and close my hand. Learned a valuable lesson that day
The extra grip spots they added, like on the Griot's Boss machines are nice, but again, not enough to justify a 500$ expense.
Of course if my machine dies and is not repairable, I would grab a Mark III as a replacement.
It seems like they made it more like the Griots Boss Polisher.
lol.
