Only reason for dual is to have a redundant relay.  I noticed the voltage dropped considerably to 12.4 volts with fans on and I knew something was wrong.<img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/New%20build/4536830B-2C31-4BAB-AA45-12C96570951D_zpsvqfukls2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Great tool to have ebay has it for around 25 for the 210 however if you want to read over 100 amps better to get the 204 model, I got both.<img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/New%20build/A2D09EC5-F9B3-4CDB-B2CB-AEB1CF6AC37C_zpsnnqncarc.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Notice the color difference on the mesh.   I Got the 25 micron filter from MF but got a bigger filter.  MF said that they have tried to cleaned the Filter but have not been able to and replacement is only alternative.  <img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/New%20build/F711538C-7E16-4B07-B548-05E28F96471B_zpszyvea1tb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />New low profile cutouts<img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/New%20build/3B97B5AE-2BAB-4FF2-AE2C-577AB0C7B66F_zpsiaczt6b6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/New%20build/1F1F17A8-51D6-490D-A825-68DFB9556803_zpsw7ifkicl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Going after the cats green lines.<img src="http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/venomstang/New%20build/74A8678B-C269-479B-A1C4-6C04382EA998_zps0npfcwph.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
