Powering the Epic: Original AB gold mount plate or WC gold mount plate?

[Brian Choy]

Hi All,Just looking for some quick advice on this situation. I'm between the original AB gold mount plate and the WC gold mount plate to get my ABs powering my Epic. There's about a $100 difference between the both, with the WC option being less expensive. I was wondering if there's any reason to go with either, or if saving the $100 to get the WC one is worth it. Thanks!

I have the AB version only because WC didn't make them back then. I haven't had any issues with it, but I'm sure the WC one is just as good.

Thanks, Bob. I'm just looking to save a few bucks in places I don't need it. The AB version comes with 3 x D-Tap ports, and the WC only one. I run a pretty basic setup that I don't see the need to have more D-Tap ports, and the extra length of the cord on the AB version is a little annoying. Please advise differently from your own experience if you believe different!

Ah. if you need extra Dtap down the road, you can always get a splitter. And yes the extra cable length on the AB version is annoying.
