Differences noticed in gray

1 The Legacy obstruction sensors for downward trips only while the Rave2 senses in both directions.

2 The Rave's polymer screw drive is maintenance-free and provides a more smoother & quieter ride. The Legacy uses the industry's standard steel rack & pinion drive. Steel rack & pinion drives require periodic cleaning & lubrication and deliver a slightly bumpier & noiser ride.
