I personally use the Rupes iBrid, but its overpriced and has fallen behind a slew of newer competition.
After briefly using it last year, and hearing nothing but positive feedback from a mate, I would be looking at the ShineMate EB210. Think of this as a new and improved Flex PXE-80. In that I mean a more compact form and a much better integrated battery, along with the quick-change heads to easily swap between DA and rotary. It also smashes the iBrid for power and torque. They also offer a similar rotary whip attachment as Flex do.
On the same day I used the 210, I was also attempting to use an iBrid............................which was having massive battery issues, the 210 just worked.
I'm not bashing Rupes here, I have them and the ones I have work just fine. But 90% of the feedback I see about the brand and its products is not positive. In that, the main complaints are about the price and lack of reliability right out of the box. They also appear to sitting on their hands in terms of product development. They should be an industry leader but are simply the follower now. A real shame.

Keep us updated. I really like my Shinemate cordless 5" but not sure I see the need to go to their 3" if the cheap 3" cordless SPTA already does well.
Very curious though to see more feedback as you use it

ShineMate EB212 3-inch Polisher Overview & Review
At the end of 2020, I made the move to battery powered polishers. Previous to this, I had been using a single dual action polisher kit that was purchased from Waxit back in 2010. This was essentially an entry level 12mm dual action polisher fitted with a 6-inch backing plate and came with an assortment of Menzerna compounds and Lake Country CSS Flat foam pads.
Waxit still offer these kits via the ShineMate brand, which are an excellent starting point as they include...

Thanks for the reply. I have a GG3 that’s rotary and I’m just not confident with a rotary. I’ll look into the EB210. Appreciate it!I personally use the Rupes iBrid, but its overpriced and has fallen behind a slew of newer competition.

Here you say the pixie and the eb210 are to small for 3 inch and to big for smaller work. Has your opinion changed?
