Hello All,
After reading the review by Rick Arnold on 16 gauge finish nailers back in the January edition of FH, I decided to buy the Bostitch FN16250K2. Well I am finally getting around to it and see that there is a newer version, FN1664K. Does anyone know if it is indeed the same nailer reviewed? The older version is still available. I’m wondering if there is an advantage in purchasing the newer model, considering that it is $40 more expensive.

Looks like the FN1664K has about 25% more power and a selectable sequential/contact trigger. Sounds like it may be better, if all other things being equal.
