I use a Numatic Nuspeed NR1500S Standard Speed Floor Machine
40 kg takes an extra 10kg weight seems ok for most general duty's never used diamonds with it.
How would a Rocky or Wirbel improve on the Numatic?

Everyone has to choose what they are comfortable with and I will repeat again none are really suitable for grinding and honing effectively and that includes the Rocky. Other than that:
The Numatic you mention
1. It costs £965 plus the cost of the additional weight.
http://www.rgk.co.uk2. The handles are very small making it uncomfortable if you need to use it for long periods.
3. The tank is smaller than the Rocky (More Pit Stops)
4. It doesn't have a metal gearbox so the build quality isn't the same and is therefore unlikely to last at least 5 Years
So for the same money I would choose the Klindex Rocky every time especially given the offer for CIU Members at the moment!
However, most will say I am biased because I sell them and use them! I agree I am biased!! However I did think very carefully before I sold all my Wirbels and changed them for the Klindex Rockys
