I will count myself as bad luck on the inferior PP. I got it from the same supplier as the APROJ, so no question of being fooled.
I got the APROJ, PPNJ, modded 5513(going to put on the gen 24-700 tube/crown and #19 crystal) this month, the $ spent is getting crazy, can almost get me a gen. Explorer II.
Anyway, I will say the APROJ is still a good value when looking at the built quality as compared to the 800 bucks for the ceramic HBB having the screws popping off at any time and with the buckle biting into your skin.
