A device must have a certain aesthetic...

I'm hoping for the same 'return on investment' when mine arrives next month.

Of course, everyone's miles will vary, but in the case of my Belle, she not only likes the Steelheart *way* better than the CB6K, she also likes it better than what it typically contains. One of those BCWYWF situations.

I was thinking 'hardware' but as it's worn your take on it may be the more correct.

I think they both make sense, but I lean toward "ware".

Good enough for me! To the Lexicon!

Do you reckon the Steelheart and DCR sharing the same A-ring/lock will work?

I'm optimistic. I was basically told to upgrade and she's already calling it a 'Sweetheart'.

The gap in the device is determined largely by the postion of the female half of the integrated lock attached to the A-ring. If it's higher up on the ring (like on my SH), the gap will be less. If it's lower down on the face of the ring, the gap will be more. As I said in my write-up, the gap in the DCR is necessarily bigger than the SH. Therefore, it may not be desirable for the A-ring to be interchangeable (though I'm sure they could be made to be).

You can see this position vs. gap thing really well in this picture: http://denyingthumper.files.wordpress.c ... -47-pm.jpg

Thanks for that. 

Obviously there will be a compromise between the 2 as it's quite a difference. Hopefully in a couple of weeks I'll find out.

It can, mine does. I use the same base ring for both.

I'd suggest mentioning it to Dietmar when you order just to make sure. I had a problem with the compatibility of rings a while back.

It's part of the original order and cost an extra €60. It took a couple of emails to clarify what I was after; partly due to the language barrier (my German is limited to putting 'ze' in every sentence) but we got an accord eventually.

@Atone: once again, thankyou.
