I would recommend a Blackspire NSX C4 since they are half the price of the ones you mentioned and seem to work just aswell.

Get an LG1 as you would need a BB mounted device, and the new ones work amazingly!

I'd personally go with a e-13, the LG1's seem popular if you want to save weight. Or just go for the SRS if you want to run a bash.

I believe the MRP's to be quiter than e-13's, although they are harder to set up.
Whereas e-13's are sooo easy to set up, but the one i used was abit noisy in the rough stuff.

Thats just my take after using both guides.

I've just ordered an LG1 as well - havent used it yet, but after having a look into it, it seems to be popular for a reason.

Relatively quiet
Simple
Light
Doesnt look bulky like some devices do
Works as well as anything else

another main thing about the lg1 is mud clearance, I found with my mrp mud got packed into behind the bash and in the guide and jammed everything sometimes.

if you get the iscg 05 it comes with an adapter... although CRC dont tell you that... so you might order one with it... and they might send it anyway because they dont care... and now you might have a spare for no reason... which you might have to go to the hastle of sending back!!! Possibly Angry
