Best Constructed is a relative term. I have seen teams be successful with both DeWALTs' and AndyMarks'. There are many cases where price does not indicated quality. The major point in this argument for me is if you want an out of the box solution or something that you need to modify in order to make work.

I recommend going with the solution that fits your team's requirements after weighing the trade offs. *cost, *time, * Form factor, *accessibility, *performance, etc.

Each team has their own requirements which will determine which solution will work for them. Even as the leader for Team DeWALT next year we will be looking at the game and what our strategy is before we decide on our transmission/ drivebase. AndyMark and DeWALT transmissions are both on the table for us.
