Question:
Can you explain the difference between the DX99FR and if I removed the sleeve over the DX89FR would I not have the same part?
asked by: Dan
Expert Reply:
Hey Dan! The only difference is that sleeve you referenced on the # DX89FR. The # DX99FR is actually part of the # DX89FR and acts as a replacement inner member. Are you asking because of the difference in cost? I'm not sure what our pricing model is thinking right now but I would get the # DX89FR and pull out the inner member to save some money if that is all you need.
