    Gearing? Tranny on the 660? Price difference? Wet weight difference?

    As a Owner Operator, I would pass on any Auto Shift Transmission.

    Sure they're nice, but you'll have problems with it eventually. It's a given.

    Personally I like the glider with the Detroit, I'm a Detroit fan though. They are reliable, parts are affordable. That's my 2cents.

    I've always driven detroits I've always heard good things about the 6nz. That's why it's in the mix, I'm just not 100%sold on Schneider gliders
