The difference lies primarily in the choice of material (ebony vs. polyamide), the workmanship/finishing and the price, but not in the dimensions. The same results can be achieved with both versions.

The extremely thin and delicate OboFit ebony wings are milled with a high-precision CNC machine. The working process is delicate (vibrations) and elaborate due to the filigree ebony parts.

Each individual ebony wing, just like the case, is sanded and finished by hand after the milling work has been completed. The glass-ball-reinforced polyamide of the OboFit fixing part also undergoes a subsequent surface treatment (smooth finishing).

Yes, this can happen, especially if you practice with the OboFit trainer for too long in the first 2 to 3 days. This can happen especially with the "OboFit original plus+" model, which is slightly thicker than the other two ObiFit models.
