Mike, I can't comment on the Trinity as we do not have them here.
With four decades in the game, I have certainly used my share of scrubbers/buffers, etc;
I am only comparing a rotary buffer here to a Cimex.
My opinion of the Cimex, which I have had for getting on close to a decade now, is that it's unbeatable.
It has enabled me to enter the profitable world of commercial carpet cleaning which I always used to shy away from previously.
The obvious benefits over a buffer is the counter rotating heads on the Cimex.
The safety aspect, in as much as if the machine is switched on, the handle will not go swinging wildly around in circles.
You do not have to lift and lower to steer the Cimex, this has improved my bad back 90%
Ease & accurate supply of solution to the floor via the shower feed system.
Less chance of fiber blooming.
Maneuverability in tight areas such as office cubicles, under desks, etc;
The wheels, being in contact with the carpet make it so make it so much easier and safer to control.
On/off control is a switch, not a lever, so you are not continually holding the lever on.
RELIABILITY, nearly a decade with no repairs other than replace one solution tank (due to a mishap), some drive boards have come apart which I have been able to easily glue and put back in service and pad replacement which are consumables like solution.
Get the "Big Wheel" kit, this improves the Cimex handling like you would not believe, especially if you have to take it up stairs..
Here's a link to a few bits about the Cimex.

As Nike would say, "Just do it".
Shorty.
