That'* it in a nutshell. Maybe no difference. Depends on whether it was the cat or not. If it was the cat, you'll have better power, too.
191 for a cat?
Shoulda cost you about $60.

Ebay is your best friend. I picked up a cat, brand new, for 30 shipped. I know which one you are talking about though, and I have seen prices for those go for about 90.
