Why does nobody talk about how much faster a 3M Trizact system is for final sanding versus the old way?

I used to spend hours blocking with 800 grit by hand on a quarter panel, but after switching to a Trizact disc system on my DA sander last year, I can cut that time down to about 20 minutes for the same finish, which lets me move the car out and get the next one in.

Remember the cost of those discs though.

My buddy bought a whole set of those last year. He ended up spending more on the discs than the player itself. Kinda defeats the purpose if you ask me.

Didn't you used to think the same way about the discs being too expensive? I was totally against them at first too but after actually trying them the time savings alone made it worth it for me.
