TO be completely honest, the BP style compressions have a better finish IMHO. You would have to be very picky (and I am) to notice. I've asked several people that have seen my rig and no one can tell the difference (but me).

    I think this is because the BP's are silver plated whereas the enzo's are nickel? For the price difference, enzo are the best price performance ration I've used.

    That 90 you showed looks like a koolance... Does it have a red o ring?
    I see. Well, that's good. Generally, I haven't had any problems with vanilla compression fittings so far. The only rotary enzo I can find in my size is the 90 degree 1/4" ones. but that'll do. How do I attach the hose to the barb securely? any herbie clips?

    BPs are silver plated?! didn't know that... won't it tarnish? And if that's why it's so expensive (to manufacture, the silver should be negligible), then shouldn't their matt black ones be cheaper? But no? those are even more expensive haha. I generally don't give a damn about the plating so long as it's not something silly and reactive. Never had any corrosion anyway. I prefer pre mixed coolants instead of messing around with distilled and PT nuke so I guess that helps.

    Did i mention that the case doesn't have window?

    That 90 degree 1/2" rotary doesn't have a red o ring. It came in a plastic packet. the sticker on the packet is in Deutsch. Number 62138




    Lemme start making a list of stuff to order.. maybe I'll get 6 enzo rotaries. Gotta plan as I'm using a freight forwarder to ship it half the way across the globe. Living on a small island in an unknown part of the world has its disadvantages. Thankfully the currency isn't that far from the USD. 1 USD = 1.3 SGD.
