The boa was a much better designed though I felt.
But because it could be set on several levels (I use the stock setting mostly) it caught people of guard.
That, and that it was made out of dw parts mostly (there are even dw logo’s on some parts) but was released under the pdp brand.
As pdp was back then seen as a cheap brand with lesser quality.

Which was unfounded for a big part imo.
The dw 9000 rack for instance, was released as pdp branded rack firstuntil they added it to the dw roster too.
