I believe that the Griots Garage G9 would be the best all-around machine for anyone wanting a great, reliable machine...
Would pair it with a 5", ventilated backing plate, and appropriate size foam pads, and just go do the work...
Yes, you can also get a 3" backing plate and smaller pads for it also, if you think you need this...
Yes, you will always need -
Pad Rotation - for the best correction..
Perhaps now, someone makes a small extension for Random Orbitals, like they do for Rotary machines, and if so, that always helps you get the pad into smaller places too..
Yes, you can just use a 3" pad/backing plate, but wow, it is going to take a Long Time, to do any vehicle, especially the bigger ones...
I have never been a fan of much that C/Guys sells, and they absolutely sell a Zillion versions of everything...That is their business plan... Sell Everything...

The old Standard, where random orbital paint correction started, is still the Porter Cable 7424 wood finishing tool, from years ago... Compact and easy to use too...But still a Random Orbital like all the rest.... Key word - Random -....

Take a Black Sharpie and put a vertical line on the back of your backing plate/s, start from the edge and go down, and this will help get a visual of how much pad rotation and how fast you are getting it....
Good luck with your research !
