    Thanks! I just talk with Marco and he told me that there is NO difference in quality. It's just looks.

    so another perk of the DSMs. was going to get these (and may still in the future) since my AP UCAs were giving me pain until they were rebuilt. replaced the bushings and uniballs and now better than when i got them. when these finally shit the bed (or I can get an uber deal:spy:) i'll get some of these.

    Correct in regards to solid tubing. But these DSM's are boxed and internally gusseted. The guy that makes them (Quinn) is awsome and really knows his business.

    well if the UCAs were equally built in every way, aside form the round vs square tubing, then yes these would be stronger.
