JarHead75, both are a matter of personal preference but I will attempt to answer this way. Macerator, yeah, it is neat to have but is overkill IMHO. I have it on my Pinnacle and have only used it to familiarize myself with it. I have never needed to use it! Just something else to winterize. Mor/ryde pin box; I would never do without it. I believe, again personal, that it is the best on the market and absolutely pays dividends while in use. Most comfortable. Hope this helps with your decision. Good luck on your PDI. Skidawg
