I would not advice you to buy the model 60-2428, unless you are a true collector .
And if you already have the Sensor XL then you do not need the model 60-2428A.
But both are peculiar in a way:
- the Partner 1680X 60-2428 (Saitek Olympiad clone) has no time levels, but only ply-levels. And within one ply-level you can select a position evaluation varying from basic to advanced. But it does have a position setup feature and mate-finding levels (max=mate in 4).
- the 60-2428A (Saitek Sensor XL clone) has both time levels and ply levels, and three playing styles.
It also has a combination finder (for material win) and a mate finder. But the peculiar thing is, that it does not have a position setup feature!??
Right now I am playing a 30 secs/move match between the Sensor XL and the Novag Carnelian II. The Carnelian II shows it's coffeehouse playing style again (sometimes harakiri...), the XL plays a solid game (relative to it's elo of almost 1500 of course), and has a clear lead now of 10,5 - 5,5.
So I let it up to you...
Best regards,
Paul
