Apeks XTX50 & 100 2nd stage differences ?

Im thinking of buying an Apeks XTX 2nd stage for left hand side operation. Is there any significant difference between the XTX50 and XTX100 2nd stages apart from cosmetic and the price.
I ask this because I have ATX50 and ATX100 2nd stages and differences bewteen them appear superficial at most.
I know the 1st stages are different though.

Yep - just done a comparison on specs - and you get stuff like 'chrome look' and optional swivel.. sounds like a bargain..

save your money.. go for the 50..

or save even more money and go for the atx50 instead..

There is no difference between the 50 & 100 2nd stage in performance the difference is as you say the 1st stage .I had the same discussion with Apeks before I bought my 50s

Many thanks. As I suspected no real difference. I'll go for the XTX50.
