What are the differences between the classic and advanced? Are they the same material? It appears that the advanced is a heavier material?

Side by side, measurements are slightly different for all dimensions, and weight a touch higher for the advanced. The advanced mentions Autograph 2 surface, which is likely some minimal advance in the technology with a fresh new marketing name. The Classic line seems to be discontinued on Analon's website. Classic Product Dimensions: 23.5 x 11.5 x 4.1 inches ; 4 pounds Shipping Weight: 3.8 pounds (View shipping rates and policies) Advance Product Dimensions: 22.8 x 10.8 x 3 inches ; 4.5 pounds Shipping Weight: 4.6 pounds (View shipping rates and policies)

the classic line has an aluminum disc inside the bottom of the pan. while the multiclad pro is made of different sheets of metal sandwiched together under extreme preasure. the same way coins are made. if you are a novice cook the classic line will meet your needs.

Another major difference - Nouvelle is one of the best aluminum pans for induction, Advanced doesn't work on induction at all. It lacks a steel induction plate.

They do look almost the same, so I too do not know. Their model numbers are different by one letter, and one of them has more items listed under 'What's in the Box' section.The only other difference is in the product title one of them says Heavy duty and other one doesn't.I would say go for either one, shouldn't matter.

I called Omega (it took a couple tries before I actually reached somebody) to ask about the 8004/6 vs 8007/8 their reply was "there aren't any differences worth mentioning." When I pressed further, "you can see from their description they're basically the same. Unless you like the different handle, i don't know why anybody would pay for the newer model." So either a) they're really bad at CS b) the person I spoke to was having a bad day or c) they're just trying to get an extra $30-40 per machine....

I think the only major difference between the die sets is the material used to make them. The cheaper set is made of steel and the more expensive sets are made with carbide. Beyond thatu difference, you'll need to figure out what your reloading system is? Are you using a single stage or 3 step turret press, or are you using a 4 stage turret or progressive press? If you are using the single stage press,I would recommend a 3 die pacesetter set. However, you'll need to know what you're system is and what you're reloading. YouTube has a lot of great info for the firs time reloader and those who are looking for more indepth info, also look at the Lee's website for specifics. Hope this helps!

There is no difference between the two, besides the price. The one you linked is actually overpriced. Both similar grades and similar scales from the same company.

Yes! Having built with both, I cannot tell the difference. I weighed the pros and cons and took a chance and am glad I bought them. My kids 3 and 6 love them. You get more and the cost is less and the quality the same.

According to HP, the Platinum editition is 6X faster than the regular one. While this might be true, it is however not worth to pay 50% more. The traditional one exceeds my expectations anyway. After all, at least for myself, an average user of this calculator would not notice the speed difference under normal circumstances. So, my suggestion would be, stick to the older one and save about $23.

Dito on Breaux's answer. More light, heavier, bigger. The 80 works fine for me.

the black one (classic) is a much less sturdy/rigid model--I would say it is made for those who cannot tolerate as much pressure/pain. the blue model is more hard/rigid/sturdy and therefore applies more pressure/force/pain when using. i purchased both and gave the black one to my wife. i do not know why the company uses different photos without explanation. if you ordered the classic, you will get the black one. marketers should have explained this--company mistake.

The only thing I can suggest is to check the weight and dimensions of the two and see. If they're the same, I'd say it's just the sort of price difference I notice in some products in Amazon that I can't explain... and I buy the cheaper. If different, it's likely in thickness, layers or length/width.

Very good question! It appears that the only difference between the Back-Roller City and Back-Roller Classic is that the Classic comes with a shoulder strap and has a built-in inner pocket. The rest of the specs look identical: same PVC coated fabric, same size, but the Classic weighs in at 1900g while the City is only 1520g. They have a couple different color options but otherwise they appear nearly identical other than the few differences that I've noted. Please let us know if you have any further questions and if there is any way that we can assist you. Regards and thanks! Doug

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

The newer model is not as well constructed- much lighter with cheaper materials. The old model lasted me 12 years. Larmaroly

The main difference is that it is "multiclad" or "ply"which means its polished stainless steel with an aluminum core for the faster heating and even heat distribution. It's also heavy duty, thicker and stronger...most all of my cookware is clad stainless (All Clad & Cuisinart) Regular stainless does not have a core and will not have the same cooking advantages and may not last as long.

I don't see a difference - the only thing I can see in the product description the os2018 is a newer version and weighs less. I love it - makes a huge difference.
