Default cheap ebay bov vs. dsm 1st gen?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2458171581

I'm thinking about ditching my 1st gen dsm bov for this ebay one. The guy is Canadian so there won't be any duty which is a bonus. I'm just wondering what you guys think. My friend has one and it looks half decent, and will probably sound good.

What's the deal with the "adjustability"? If you set it to soft does it open slower or something? Sounds like it might hurt something if it doesn't let the air out fast enough?

Why would you pay that when you own a better/cheaper one?

I'm not big on the style/sound of the dsm valves, that's all.

Yea, I know how to get around duty. Sometimes gift doesn't always work. You also have to get it shipped USPS because UPS charges an arm and a leg for brokerage.

I mark everything to Canada as a gift. Even if you don't ask for it. Dsm bov= cheap/effective
