Default vararam 1b vs 2b
Is there a noticeable difference? If I found a brand new 1b for 215 is that a good price?

2B is the redesign and has the new top. Seals much better than the original 1B unit. If your going Vararam, do it right and get the 2B I love mine, and Patrick is great to deal with.

I paid $200 shipped for a new, unused B2 - be patient, the B2's are out there, and good prices are to be had on them - I'd wait for the B2

2B or not 2B, that is the question.

I like my 2B.

I think the difference is in the quality and seal.
