In fact a rotary or a LowBoy machine will have as much - or quite possibly even more HEAD WEIGHT than a Cimex. The Cimex and the Orbot have pivoting heads, so a portion of the total weight rides on the wheels. By comparison, rotary machines as well as the LowBoy have all of the weight riding on the head of the machine. And that's more weight for scrubbing. But that being said, I agree completely that the Cimex is the bomb, in a class to itself - due to the fact that the drivers are turning in a planetary motion (drive deck turns right while the brushes spin left). And since the Cimex scrubs right and left at the same time, its unique scrubbing action can not be beat (goes beyond the benefits of weight alone).
