Toft ATB or Older Trident?

Deadmeat · 21st March 2007

Was looking into the Toft ATB, but then realized that I could get an older Trident 65/70 series for about the same cake. Your Thoughts?

I was in a similar place a few months ago and ended up buying the ATB. I don't regret it. Having owned a few older consoles before, the deciding factor for me was the freedom from constant service that older consoles require. If you can tech it yourself, then I agree you can get a lot more for your money on the used market.

I don' believe the Trident 65/70 are held in that high regard, in particular their center section and haedroom. Unless you're talking a real Trident, i.e. 80B, etc., then the ATB is as good or better due to it being new and in the long run (who knows yet), perhaps better.

two cents.
