I got my Jet buffer online (It's a JBS-10H) but you can find Jet tools at any quality tools store. Jet is part of the WMH Tool Group. WMH also produces Powermatic, Performax, Wilton, Columbian etc.. Industrial tools.. (I've got a Powermatic tablesaw that's almost 25 years old that cuts better than any saw I've ever used... GREAT machine)
Again, I've heard good things about the Baldor units, but I didn't care for the short shafts. Same with Caswell's units. I've heard good things, but it's on the "short" side too.
There's a thread here in the polishing forum (At least I *THINK* it was here. Might have been in another forum...) that mentions someone who's had problems with the on/off switch on his Caswell 2hp buffer failing repeatedly. You might want to call and see if that issue has been rectified. (or if it even was an issue)
Having said that, I'm not trying to push you either way, just tossing out some information you may be interested in.
