Both are tubular...

The cusco is non adjustable though, and most likely stiffer because of that. Othere than that just the demensions aside from what the other is made of I know the cusco is alum.

Actually I am pretty sure both are Cusco. I prefer the top one because it allows pretensioning and you can adjust it for minute manufacturing variances between cars.

I would really like to know which one works better. I was thinking that the all blue one would be stiffer due to less moving parts.

anyone have any feedback?

The top one is type AS. The bottom type OS. Both are CUSCO. AS is a cheaper bar. Type OS is a stiffer and more expenisve. I recommend type OS. The only advantage of AS bar, is that you can adjust the load by turning the nut in the middle.
