    ULA Corcuit or ULA OHM 2.0?

    Which one would YOU buy and why? I understand there is a weight difference, but also a difference in the frame/support. I'd like to get some opinions before I bite the bullet and buy one of these.

    NCSU has backpacking as a PE class, as well as many other things you wouldn't really expect to get credit for. For my first BS degree, my PE classes were bowling and horseback riding.
