What's the biggest difference between the Twin Pro S series and the Twin Signature series? Is the 2X list price for the Twin Pro S worth it?

I have the Twin Signature set and have been very pleased - it's been 2-3 years of everyday use! That being said, Twin Pro appears to be an even better product because it is "Forged from a single piece of steel" vs. a "Stamped Blade". As far as price goes, right now (on Amazon) I see that for the 7 piece set, there's only a $50 difference between the two.

As far as I can understand, the only difference is in the number of speed settings. PRO has 4, PLUS has 3.

From what I understand the difference is that the Strutz Sole Angel is the 1st edition of the struts & doesn't have as much cushioning as the Pro option offers. The Pro is made out of a softer gel material that is much better & more durable than the Angel variety. But, the real "Pro" option does cost significantly more as you'll notice. The real "Pro" is the Blue ones listed here (I believe) & the regular, Angel struts are the ones you'll see that are in the Green color. I hope this info helps as I'm also putting a pair of the real "Pros" in my cart right now as I write this! :) From what I understand the difference is that the Strutz Sole Angel is the 1st edition of the struts & doesn't have as much cushioning as the Pro option offers.

I don't know about those. Look very seriously at the Twin Pro S knives. Awesome quality!

I believe the signature series has stronger suction than any of the previous vacuums. Also, the Signature comes with the regular bladed "brush", while the XV-21 comes with the pet bristle brush. The Signature Pro comes with both brushes. You can also just buy the pet bristle brush separately with the Signature vaccuum to make get the "signature pro" for less money.

Pro studios seem to always have two. I have only one but it has made a tremendous difference. Two would give you a stereo field, of course, but I like that it's always in mono because I'm mixing with bluetooth mono speakers in mind. I don't know if the studios get two out of habit and access to cash or if I'm missing something important in my setup. You can certainly start with one and get another later if you feel you're missing something important.

Hello from American Angler This is our heavy duty model an has twice the torque of our later models. The Pro Series has dual (metal and resin) gears. This model has a 2 year limited warranty.

Looking at the Yamaha site 'compare' it appears that there is almost no difference between the units except MHL. Interestingly the MSRP is the same so I can't explain why the $150 difference in price.

From what I can tell, it is the physical knobs for each of the controls. Also when I did the research I was looking at the Compact and the Producer, and they only had 16 XLR input channels and from what I could tell, you had to purchase the S16 digital snake. I opted for the full board as everything is available right in front of you and there are less "layers" that you have to scroll through (IE on the Compact or Producer I believe that you have 4 separate buttons with 8 channels each and with the full board you only have 2 buttons with 16 channels each. I am no doubt a professional yet, but I wanted to learn on a full board with as much in front of me as possible and that why i chose this. Was it right, that I do not know but i LOVE the board and so does the band that I mix for. On the rack mount version - I really know nothing about it. I would assume that its the same and maybe controlled by the X32 control software available. The large board hooked up perfect to my DAW (Studio One) and connected pretty easy with my MAC. I ran into a little trouble with the LAN because I connected a wireless router to a wireless router, but after I figured this out it works like a champ. Another reason I went with the X32 versus digital boards is how many youtube videos I could find on training. Excellent selection - many of which are from Church perspectives but its a band they are mixing - and usually have more to deal with than straight mixing music. Hopefully that is a little explanation - but if I was to spend the money for the Compact, Producer or the Full board, hands down I would purchase it again. While it might be $100-1500 difference, the full board for me works great.

Very different products. One is the professional line (designer) and the other is more of the home product. The pro line seems more robust, the battery last longer, and is much closer to the regular corded models. That's the one I would go with.

I've been debating this also, the ss2300 has great reviews and a much higher MSRP, so it appears to be a better deal. But if this is basically the same but only a newer model maybe this is my best bet.

M1 is portable while S1 is not. In terms of quietness S1 is better then M1. The suction power is also better.

I am not sure what the difference is either, but they are priced the same on Hoover's website. I'm using the Pet Plus because I have dogs, but I got a small bottle of the professional with my machine, and can't tell much difference between the two. Hoover also markets a 2X Plus Professional, which claims to be twice as strong,but is cheaper. I'm agreeing with the other poster that it may just be marketing. Sorry, that's probably not much help. I would probably go with the best price, though.

I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !?Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H; was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same.The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H; brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.; I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s...

Thanks for the info. The VSX-9040 is only $6 more. Let us know how you like it if you get it. I haven't decided yet.

I had the old Sigma EF 500 Super and was pretty happy with it. Since I found I didn't really use the extra features of the Sigma Super, I replaced it with the 430EX II when it eventually died because the 430EX II had more than enough power, speed and features for my needs as well as being a bit sturdier than the Sigma. So I would say it depends on the whether you need the extra power and range of the Sigma. BTW, the Sigma EF 500 Super did have some quirks but I'm not sure they are relevant to the newer Sigma models.

I have the Pro2X and have owned it for about 4 months. I really like having the two canisters, since I tend to make food and then freeze it. I like being able to steam two foods at once. Makes the whole process go that much faster. One thing, you can't blend/mix on both sides, just on one, so you steam the food then blend one after another on the primary side. The blending works well. I have been able to get the smooth consistency needed for babyfood, so no complaints there. My opinion is if you want/need to save time, the second cansiter in the Pro2X is definitely worth the money. I estimate it saves you 20 minutes of overall time per two foods you are planning to cook, since you are steaming both foods at once. If you don't care as much about saving the time then it's not as worth it. BTW - my opinion is the larger canister in the PRO is definitely worth it over the std so you can make food and then freeze the rest and don't have to be making food all the time.
