Only machine I've used is my Flex 3401, but my take is that with the Free floating spindle assembly type DA's you don't want any extra weight for the machine to have to push. A few people had issues with over saturation of the pad (LC pads), the extra weight lead to the pad ceasing to rotate. That said, I would think that by the time you got to the second side of an Edge pad it would be pretty heavy. I'm sure lots of people have used Griot's + Edge with success though. Just my $0.02.

I use a griot's ROP also. As for the pads i like LC flat pads work grate for me. I also just tried there 6in Kompressor pads and am in love with them! over my hood, quarter panels and other curvy parts they have worked the best out of any other pads i have used. I think they are worth the extra $$$.

I currently use 6.5" and 5.5" LC CCS pads, but have been considering the Kompressor pads. I also just bought 6 Surbuf pads, but they're not ideal for a full detail, just correction work as they're a bit too aggressive for finishing work. Not sure how the Edge pads would do. Good luck with your choice though.
As a side note, the 5.5" LC pads are the best in terms of correction power on the Griot's. No question.

I also changed my edge system recently from my old UDM to Megs' DA and encountered some problems. Dunno about Griot but i'm also interested to see whether it'll work on yours.
