If you're planning to buy 3 polishers
Make it a long throw , a forced and a 3inch
It's really simple, don't over complicate things.

Makita PO5000C
Rupes 15 mark 2( can buy a 21mm essentric for it)
GG6 with Griot HD 3in plate

Those are 3 smooth machines for the best bang for your buck..
I mean you can save more $ if you get a Griot boss..but you gain some extra.l vibration(atleast the G21 does).the cure would be a 90$ Rupes Essentric to replace the factory Griot one...which I think would put you past the mark 2 price point.

My reasonig for this recommendation is that if you purchase the Mille their is no reason to buy a 15/21 MKII since the Mille fits the bill. The Duetto is light weight and super ergonomic. My two start with polishers are the Duetto and Mini. When I do a test spot I start with the Duetto. I don't own a Mille or a 3401 but I'm also not going to do boats or trailers.
 
G15/21 + GG6 (w/ different backing plates) = :dblthumb2:

I have the G21 and two GG6's in addition to my Rupes. I use the G21 over my Rupes 15 but still go with the other combo I mentioned first. The GG6 is nice but if money is not a concern I'll take the Duetto all day long.

Checked the Rupes website and can't find the 21mm essentric kit.

May be the spelling, Google Rupes 'eccentric' and you'll likely get some hits:

About 3 months ago, i was in the same position. Now i have a flex 3401, flex light rotary and the flex mini. I love those machines and love their look and dont regret buying them. I recently also bought a cordless milwaukee rotary and prefer the flex rotary.

Cant go wrong when u need that extra power/correction and pressure doesnt stop the pad from rotating on the 3401.

Yes you can put a 15 mm in it.they all interchange no matter if Griot, Rupes, cut Force, Adams Sk...only exception possibly being the Xfe7-15.. nitnifnthet use a 3 bolt eccentric, then it's safe to say it'll interchange too

I just recommend if you're going 15mm swap on 5in plate..if going 21mm swap on 6in plate

If 12mm swap on duetto plate
