identical

there are two different model #'s actually, they are just different counterweights which doesn't make a difference.

I bought mine at coastaltool.com
$120 - comes with 6" backing plate and counterweight. Pretty popular combo.

think I just answered my own question

7424 = 6" plate w/ 5" counterweight (for use with included lightweight 6" foam polishing pad)

7336 = 6" plate w/ 6" counterweight

I think I will be picking up the 7336 from Lowes

Constant Pressure (LC) 6-inch Foam Pad Starter Kit:
A constant pressure foam pad, this is essentially a flat 6-inch pad which uses a patented technology layer of engineered, instant rebound foam between the pad and the backing plate to absorb off-axis movements while keeping the pressure of the pad on the surface constant. These European pads are made from engineered, thermally reticulated (exploded open cell) foams with a 99% open cell structure, specifically designed for compounding, polishing and finishing. Blue "Constant Pressure" foam backing absorbs any unwanted ‘off-axis’ polishing motions (ideal for the inexperienced user)

Constant Pressure Foam Pad Starter Kit:
•1-Polish / Cutting Pad (*Yellow)
•2-Polish / Light Cutting Pad (*Orange)
•2-Polish / Waxing Pad (*White)
•2-Finishing Pad (*Black)
•1-5-inch Flexible Urethane Backing Plate

*The foam pad colour identifications and specifications are by Lake County Manufacturing (LC) www.lakecountrymfg.com other manufactures of foam pads use a different colour to identify the abrasiveness or cutting ability of their foam pads, they can be purchased at www.properautocare.com.

If you are careful there will be minimal to no "off-axis" motions .. the LC pads are a bit pricey and unnecessary precaution (my )

I went with pads from exceldetail .. great prices, good quality, quick shipping, and supporting another Acurazine member is always good form!
