So the Sub remains with me, and the SD will soon have a new home.
Sorry I missed your decision before replying. I suspect it's the correct choice.

I thought it was the one...it wasn’t...it’s gone and I now have a ‘72 red sub 1680...despite my high expectations it just wasn’t right for me.

I was recently in a very similar situation. I bounced the SD43 and got a SubC. Quite happy with that decision. I really tried hard to like the SD43, and it’s not that I hate it, I just find the Sub way better.

I like you loved the look of the SD and still do, but it is a bit to bulky for my wrists. Not so much the weight but that I dont have much fat between my skin and wrist bone. No cushion, so I kept the 116610ln.

At least you have only purchased your SD once...

Good luck in your decision
