I think I was told the japan one was the one to have ... but I think it was a bling comment .... I have no idea what the differences are  ;-)

Apparantly the Japanese ones are better made although i've never seen them side by side. I think a lot of it is a snob value thing

Jap ones are the one to go for. They are better made, and if memory serves me correct on a full system they give a slightly better power increase too  :icon_thumright:
