    Upgrading my brake system Finally!

    Need help deciding. Upgrading to my first hydraulic system. Can someone tell me what the differences between the SLX 665 and 666 systems are? Price difference is huge! However here on MTBR the cheaper system rates higher.
    Thanks

    The 665 is the old model brake caliper that can't use the new finned ice tech brake pads.

    Is that nesessarily a bad thing? The reviews were still great, right?
