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.

"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.
