THANK YOU !!! That was very informative !! I was leaning towards the DBX, but still haven't pulled the trigger . I tend to over-research stuff before I finally pull the trigger !!

Are there major differences in the 166 line ??? I noticed after a quick look at the site I was going to order from have :

166
166A
166XL
166XS

That's a lot of options based on the same ' base model' ! LOL

Earlier 166 models are USA made. Mine’s one of those, and I trust it’s better.

Usually when overseas outsourcing is started quality goes down.

Just my opinion
