Hmmm......
I "think" I would like the 21 millimeter orbit stroke in the Duetto myself.
I like the Duetto shape and size, add to it the 21m throw and 6" or even 5" thin pads and you'd have a real swirl killer.
Just a thought... it could be that the engineers already considered this configuration and have a reason for not creating such an animal.
But if it could work this is what I would like to see.

You guys have all the luck down there, LOL! I bet a giveaway will be coming when you come back...maybe? I for one was really blown away at the performance of the Rupes at our Chicagoland Detail Day, combined with the flat foam/wool 1/4" purple pad from Lake Country it just took care of business on our neglected donor car!
I've never been to Italy but I bet you guys will hate the pizza from your local place after going there, LOL! Maybe you'll see a LaFerrari "out in the wild" while out there, if so, take a pic or two...hundred!!!

Italy...you gotta love it..the only country that has a Lambo Police car:
You should buff that thing out while you are there.

Enjoy it. I went to the homeland 3 years ago for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it.

Safe travels back, gang!
And Klasse...from my fromer flying days, private pilots would ask the FBO for Prist on the windscreen. I think it was only a cleaner though meant for the polycarbonate material of small aircraft windscreens. Something flying as fast as Mike and The Gang is on doesn't need much of anything to wisk rain drops off the windows. They only use the wipers for taxiing out and in to see the centerline and surroundings better.
