This fall, I had a chance to compare barley samples between my CTS II, a 1680, 2188, 2388, and 9650 STS. Funny thing was you couldn't tell the difference between any of them. They were all very good samples. Plus I know of guy who raises Coors barley who traded a CR 970 in for a 9860 STS. So Coors must not care too much.
