<p>I&#8217;d say both of these duplexers are useable, they&#8217;d both do the job acceptably.  Remember that the Diamond was broken, after just a few weeks in service I had to take it out of service because of broken solder joints.  I had to repair those solder joints in order to do these tests.</p>
