I have a Statler and the closest dealer to me is 5+ hours away. but saying that it was just retro fitted to the statler this summer so before that I had no bells and whistles, I didn't really need them. I say go with what you are comfortable with. Are you really going to use the bells and whistles? Or do you what the bigger one? As long as you have a stitch regulator the rest is all gravy.
