You'd be wasting your time trying to make the Cell work on those conditions if your Cell Pearl is already working well. Why would you want them to kind of overlap? I'd say you should use the original Cell only when you see longer and/or heavier patterns because that's where it really shines. And for what it's worth, my Cell is drilled to be fairly "weak" and predictable (something close to 5.5x4, pin under middle finger), and even then I get my best results with sanding straight from 500 to 4000 grit, then applying a light coat of polish by hand to help clear the heads. And it still only works when there's plenty of oil out there. If it starts rolling early, I have to put it away and go with something that is designed to handle friction.
