Yeah - the price  :grin:

Lol - to be honest, just depends what you are looking for.  I do a lot of motorway miles, and hence dont want a non-res one as I dont want a boomy sound for 2 hrs - thats just going to turn into a pain in the ass.

If you want subtle performance, I think resonated is the way to go.
