I have a spare set of cylinders and I'm torn between the 660 and 685 as well. Have the 685 s really proven that there as reliable as the 660s?
Yes they have. The reason there are two is because the 660 from Carl's is a bolt on option, no bottom end work needed. The 685 has a bit more go, but you have to split the cases to machine them.
