    Question Griots 6" DA. Generation 1 -vs- Generation 2

    For those who have used both, can you tell a difference, and if so, what?

    Didn't know there were 2 generations. I know the 3" Griot has a second generation. When did generation 2 come out?

    The 1st generation is less powerful. I'm putting mine on Ebay sometime this weekend.

    Here are some pics.

    Maybe someone has a new pic to compare.

    I don't think anyone made an official announcment, but yes, there is a difference between the ones being produced now -vs- the ones made 2 years ago

    I wasn't aware the amperage or orbit size had changed? Are you talking about the 3" or the 6"?

    If I remember correctly, the original Griot's didn't have a removable backing plate.
