The GenII nut is like the old molded in XXX-CR diff nut or like the AE one for that matter. The problem with the first one was the plastic was too soft to hold the nut from spining. With the nut molded into the plastic it works great. If you like to just replace the mini lock nut the alum holder is awesome. I have used both with great success so either option is fine. I can't say one is better then the other personally.
