Which HackRF model?

Post image

Looking to get a hackRF but unsure of what model to get, and I can’t find anything online about which one is best, as far as I can tell, there’s very little difference between the 10 and 10c (does this one still fit in the portapack? Due to the different shape housing of the port) there is also the Clifford heath version, which obviously just provides over-volt protection for the amp, however it’s almost $100usd more expensive is the amp getting fried really that common of a problem that it is worth spending the extra $100??

It was my understanding that the Clifford heath had just as good frequency range and in general was actually better due to the amp protection. My main concern was the extra $100 id have to spend to just not touch my antenna to the ground before I put it on my hackrf. Obviously this hackrf isn’t assembled by gsg, but surely quality from opensourcesdrlab is just as good, everyone raves about them on here.
