gazke Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 hi guys, new to the forum here... trying to decide on my 1st purchase. wondering whats the main difference between the HBB full versus the lite version? looking at this from pure time (angus?) site. appreciate any feedback and advice!
mysterio Posted September 1, 2008 Report Posted September 1, 2008 I'm not by any means a rep expert, just basing on Angus' site. The only discernible difference from the spec sheet is the lack of AR for the Lite version (the non-Lite has double AR). However, you can get single AR applied just for an additional 20$, relatively inexpensive. The confusing thing is the site sometimes uses the same images for the Lite and Non-Lite version. For example, for the Frappuccino, the only difference in image is in the front image, to show the difference between double AR and no AR. However, for the HBB Ice Bang, the images are completely identical (although the spec difference is still the lack of any AR for the Lite one). The difference in the price varies from as little as 180$ to a whopping 700$. There may be more "improvements" to the more expensive version but really up to you if you feel the 700$ difference is justified.

There's many other things for instance movement quality and a often little details that makes them harder to tell it's a rep But price isn't a quality warranty, so be sure to compare the pics of the rep with the originals from hub website.
