1. The diffs between the 5" and 6" counterweights are not dramatic and probably a non-issue with the casual enthusiast. If you are using the machine daily or several times per week, then yeah, have both counterweights. But the only time you will notice a diff in performance is when using a large pad (7"+). So let price or other things determine your choice of machines.
2. There are plenty of online suppliers of pads. http://www.properautocare.com is one of the best due to their massive selection. http://www.topoftheline.com has many pads at good prices.
3. I doubt HD would carry a velcro backing plate to fit the PC but its worth a looksee. The websites above have plenty of selection. I have several backing plates in different sizes for various pads but most folks only need one; a 6" plate will do the trick.
4. Meguiars makes pads with and without backing plates attached. But your selection of pads without attached plates is infinitely greater. I use the 3 foam pads from Meguiars regularly and really like them. They cover about 90% of all my machine polishing needs.
For pads and accessories, have a look at all the stuff here: http://www.properautocare.com/porcabpolac.html
Hope all this helps. Happy Buffing!!!!
