First post in AHCI. Got fascinated with MB&F Legacy 1 and DB28 recently and decided to go for either. Obviously they are totally different. MB&F legacy 1 just like its name, united every single unique friend to create something special, a creative solution to the imagination say what if I were born 100 years ago? While DB is breathtaking, classic rooted but thoroughly boundary breaking manufacturer. Need help to sort out which one shall I go, and importantly, why? Thanks!
