Peltor CommTac III vs Defender
This may seem like an obvious question, but I wanted to run it by some of you here to make sure I'm not missing anything.
I was going to purchase a pair of CommTac Defenders (the CommTac III without comms) for $280. Before committing to it, I found a pair of NIB CommTac III's with gel ear cushions, PTT adapter, case, etc. for $399. They look like they're part of a contract-overrun.
Anyways, I don't have a comms setup yet (I've been looking closely at the TRI 148/152), but at that price, is there any reason not to get the CommTac III's for $120 more? Or is there something about the Defenders that make them a more favorable/flexible option, knowing I don't have comms yet?

The defenders can be adapted for comms when you decide to get comms down the road. I’ve had both. The performance seemed the same to me. The comtacs May be the better long run buy since they come with the gel cups which are like $40 alone. With the defenders you’ll have to get the boom mic, down-lead adapter, ptt, and if you choose the gel cups. Also are the comtacs that you’re looking at the single comm or dual?
One advantage I guess to the Defenders is that if you’re not running comms at any time you can remove the extra cables and boom mic. With the comtacs you can remove the mic but will still have to manage the down-lead/s. I managed the cable on my single comms with a headband cover with the lead tucked into it.
