    Please restate your question..... there's no "2010 20 Optimax" in the engine lineup.

    Please specify precisely the two engines you're considering (including the proper horsepower designation of each).

    Indeed only minor differences (carbon fiber reeds, stiffer mounts, slight calibration change, and of course, "a sharp set of decals".

    The 20" (L) model is ONLY available in the ProXS (standard 200 is no longer available).
