    Sounds similar to the Detroit/St. Louis matchup from this past weekend.

    I'll go with Danby, just because I have one and it works great after 2 easy quick cheap mods.

    Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
    and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
    be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
    "It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
    be selfish and worry about my liver."

    Neither are stellar units. However I'd give the Danby the edge due to what little I've read on here about the Nostalgia. From that the Danby seems to have a better regulator and you can at least read the psi you are set at. If Nostalgia skimped on that component, who knows where else they cut costs.

    Mechanically, the Danby isn't all bad. Danby just needs to give up on the electronic temperature control and go with a simple mechanical thermostat.
    Malt is the soul of beer... and yeast gives it life..
    but the kiss of the hop is the vitality of that life!

    My three favorite beers: The one I just had, the one I'm drinking now and the next one I'll have.
