I suspect we're probably splitting hairs as far as any significant difference in quality, JFP, but do you see any reason to switch from Wix 51042 (what I've been using for years) to the 51348XP?

I believe the 51042's are made in Mexico, but I seem to recall reading about LNE recommending them. (And you too, IIRC.)

You are correct, the reason we switched to the 51348XP was the overwhelming move to customers using the IMS Solution, which used this style filter from the beginning (the Solution kits shipped with this filter). When Wix released the XP version with the hybrid synthetic media, we gave them a try and liked what we saw, so we stayed with them, and continue to like them.
