Battery tools are quickly gaining ground on corded tool performance, but still have their place in use & cost. When considering extreme long term, even occasional use, batteries die & replacements are overpriced vs entire tool set. If you use often enough to wear out a corded tool & need it's type of convenience, then battery is more cost effective long term.
If not ready to commit to expensive tools, then I'd go more medium priced air or electric & spend more on the pads & compounds part.
At a recent car show, I was showing someone how easy it is to polish unbuffed ceramic coated sidepipes with metal polish I had on hand, then with someone elses HF battery powered mini buffer. Even a cheap tool is better than nothing,,, for a little while.
