Default LRP Pulsar3 VS TeamOrion AdvantageII

Hello,

I'm about to buy a charger for my IB4200 pack and also for the transimitter batteries.

Unfortunately in Athens I can find only theese two chargers. Their specs are similar.

Which of the two would you suggest and why?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Merry Christmass to all !!!

Both very good. I use the Pulsar Comp 3 myself, and my touring car racing buddy uses the Orion. We both are impressed with our chargers, and as you say similar specs.

Reason I settled on the Pulsar 3 was first it was in stock at MK Racing, great price too. Secondly it's lifetime warranty makes it very appealing. Really though not a lot between them, go with which ever ones tickles your fancy.

I'd go for the Orion charger as it has a temperature sensor, better safe than sorry in hot weather!

Yeap, looking again at their specs I found that the Orion has temp. sensor (LRP hasn't)

Does everyone know if the Advantage has a built in cooler (fan)?

Also, the Orion Advantage has a temp sensor and the Pulsar not. Is this a serious reason to go for the advantage?

I searched through google to find a comparing review of theese two chargers but I can't find anything...

What are the pros and cons of each charger?

Sorry for the plenty of questions but I'm a bit comfused

I have a Pulsar 1, it has never let me down and been an excellent charger. I now also have th newer (Lipo ready) Orion advantage. The menu system and general using of the LRP is better and I prefer it. However I do use the temp probe of the orion and the Lipo will get used one day, but the Pulsar 3 already has this. What I HATE is the annoying sounds of the Orion.

I'd personally buy the LRP, but both are good bits of kit, you're not going to go wrong either way.
