Advice on new vs old model Whiteline 24mm Adj swaybar?

Hey Guys,
Thought one of the gurus might be able to steer me in the right direction.

I'm looking to grab a front 24mm adjustable Whiteline sway bar for my NA.
They are in the process of phasing out the old model and bringing out a new bar.
Having never played with sways I'm not sure which one to get.
Having spoken to Whiteline they confirm the following.

"Hi Julian,

The differences are for a few reasons.

1. The old bar was a 3 point adjustable and we changed to 2 point.
2. The old bar was a tight fit so we re-designed some of the bends to make fitment easier."

Does anyone have an educated opinion on which they feel may be the better option?

Thanks
Jules

If I remember correctly, there was an issue with the older bars where although they had 3 adjustment points, only 2 were usable because the shock was in the way.

The 3 hole fits OK on an NA8. I think the problem was just with some NA6s. It's probably something to do with arm lengths cos the stock NA6 has an arm length of 227 mm vs NA8 235 mm. The 24 mm 3 hole Whiteline has arm lengths of 230, 248 and 266 mm.

just wait for the new one.I have the old 3 position one on my na6 and the softest setting is difficult to use,had to bend swaybar links so they could be mounted inside the bar or they would rub on the shocks.
for me (on the goat tracks that pass for roads in the hunter valley) the 24mm bar is a little big so need the softest setting.
