I would tend to agree - having made this super small clock for IN-17 and now IN-2 - put the two side by side and there is no doubt as to which one is the winner. The only 'issue' with the IN-17 variant is that the tubes have to be soldered in to position. I've been giving away a set of N.O.S. IN-17 with each IN-17 kit as I have a few on hand! - Richard
