What version for Under seat ARB Twin- issues with brushless version?

[MileHigh]

Was looking to put an under seat ARB twin compressor in. I see at least three versions? Owl, Agile and XSpec? I asked about the OWL version and was interested in the new brushless version, since it’s spec sheet is pretty impressive and its the newest hotness. OWL said that the brushless has issues with over heating? Is that true. Is it just moving so much air it gets hotter?

The ARB brushless are relatively new to the market, so no meaningful long term reliability data as yet - I think they have been out around 6 months in AU. Their big plus is 50% increase in air output, plus lots of built in tech. The ARB video suggests it handles overheating and temp variations - at least that was my impression watching it.

The older ARB twins are almost bullet proof. I had mine under the seat for 10 years with no issues in very harsh conditions (in my Nissan Patrol). Same model installed on my Grenadier, again no issues.

These two videos may help you decide.
