No fear. I have been using the old version for a while now and have great luck with them. They are great pads and basically indestructable.

They work great, you won't be dissappointed. You'd only see the difference on 5% of cars out there.

what would that difference be?

we use the mf system constatnly, maily doing hondas, hazing is a problem on the hondas. can one expect the optimum pads to perform any differently? I have 2 of the original polish pads from optimum and they work just fine. They do seem more durable.

The face material has changed and finishes better on some cars. The foam is thicker and allows more consistent contact on cars with more curves.
 
Chris, any advice for those of use using them with the 3401? Were they tested with this machine?
 
With the 3401, the Meg's pads were grabby and balded in the middle. I'm not sure any MF pad will be different with this machine, but I'm still giving OPT as shot.
 
Someone was just telling me that was from excess testosterone...I didn't argue.

Yes, they were tested with this machine and I have used them personally with it. They perform very well and if you encounter any grabby feel, just adjust to a slightly higher speed and/or make sure your pad is primed well. I have had no balding thanks to the open cell, cool running foam interface we used.

What speed did you use with the opt MF cutting pad and the 3401?
