america is better looking and more comfortable i do agree with the red ones but the malbury red ones are the best. but seriously performance wise they are close. do the basic mods and you should be fine with either. i have done 350 mle days 2 up with no problems through mass, vermont, and NH. so pick which you think looks better and feels better
