do you really want to skimp on the most important cosmetic feature of your car?
the porter-cable is an excellent option, with great results. you can get the porter-cable 7336 for about $100 even, i think, from Lowe's, and it's the same as the 7424. (it comes with a pad, but you'll want to look into buying more appropriate ones)
i think it's well worth the price, and come on, is $100 really that much? i don't think so. a $30 autozone buffer is likely going to cause you more headaches than the $70 savings is worth.
my results with the PC 7336:

i'm not saying you have to absolutely go with the PC, but do your research, and don't skimp.
