I don't have to worry about abuse, this one is NIB.
One part of the dilemma is that I have some store credit built up at my LHS, with that I can get a DA-100 for the same cash out of pocket (my LHS doesn't stock BME, so no 110 [

]), of course the BME 105 has slimline mufflers with it also...
I plan to put whichever one in a GP 1/3 cap I got last year.
I have heard the DA is a bit stronger than the 105, and also been told that the DA, being heavier, will balance the CAP cap more easily. The balance should not be an issue if I lay other components out a bit more foward.
Thanks for the input so far, and please keep it coming. I want to learn all I can about any issues. Thanks!
By the way Silver, I picked up the Evolution 26 this weekend, thanks for the insight on the other thread that the silly moderator closed prematurely.
