Does anyone know what the difference between the front mech in the subject and an M665

    presumably T SW stands for Top Swing, so if the 665 is top swing, then they would be the same.

    OK, Makes sense. Yeah - they both say that they're dual-pull, top swing...OK, go for the cheaper one I guess.
