Are the current UDMs exactly like the PC 7424? If so, that means there is a reduction in power because the original UDM was a good amount stronger.
Or did they increase reliability by having it built by PC, while still retaining the original power?

For beginners, what is the safest to use? The PC 110?

I'm fairly certain the UDM is now a PC 7424. I don't know that I'd really say the original UDM was "a good amount stronger" since it was only 4.2A vs 3.7A. That's only about 12%, and if the reliability is improved by going to the PC, I say go for it!

The UDM was stronger at full speed. My friend has one (blkexcoupe) and I have the PC. The UDM can correct so much faster than the PC, but it came with heavy vibration which I was not fond of. Of course its no match for my rotary. I can make the PC bog down easily where as the UDM will keep on going. Sometimes things dont look that much different on paper, but it can certainly make a large difference Too bad it had quality issues.
