i consider the recto more of a step sideways than an upgrade... don't let the price difference fool you into thinking it's automatically better...

overall, the recto has better cleans and more flexibility... but something about the overall tone and voicing of the 5150 and 5150 II just seems to have more mojo or something... but to each his own.

try them out side by side and dick with them for like a couple hours...
