It's time to get a new headset and I've heard many good things about the
Lightspeed units. Has anyone anything to offer as to the real world
difference between the 20Gs and the 30Gs? Is the 4 DB diff in ANR really
worth the 120.00 price increase? Looking at the specs I can see no other
difference in the units.

If the difference is indeed 4 db then you will hear less than half the
noise of the older units. That would be huge.

I've got the Twenty 3Gs, and love 'em!

Just don't buy any of their older models. (I.E.: 15s, 15XLs, 20s, 20XLs)
I've got three pair of them, and they break continually.

I have the 20G and my partner in our Sundowner has 30G. We've swapped and
can't tell the difference.

John,

doesn't sound like anything overly noisy. The 20 would probably do
fine. OTOH, considering the money you save compared to brand B, you
might just as well get the best.
