They're both very good, though. No difference in performance.

Usually agree with you, Jim, but the older 53205 has a small edge in performance over the newer CVDs. They are a bit smoother and don't seem to bind up on the tighter turns like the CVDs do. Will admit tho that the newer CVD is a bit more durable and can be rebuilt.
