To make room for a couple of new machines soon to arrive.  I may have to sell one of S+ slots  bawling
They both work great, have comparable quality cabinets, chrome etc.  One has a DBV-200 with the last update available, and the other has a
WBA-11 with IDO 22/23. I have spare power supplies for either. So the question is, which one of the two is better to keep? Or is there a difference. 
I understand that support is gone for both?  I guess I want to know which of the two is more reliable, long lasting, less maintenance/problems etc?

For whatever it's worth, I've seen more S+ machines with DBV validators than WBA's, but most of the later generation S+ machines that I've seen had WBAs.

If the other machines in your collection use DBV's, I'd hang on to that one so you have a common validator between your machines (or vice-versa).

I have both as well and haven't had problems with either one as well.
That said, I did change all mine out to DBV because it has 4-way acceptance
which can comes in handy when the bill doesn't take when inserted the one way.
Can't say that I was really bothered with the WBAs but the switch to the DBV
does increase convenience.

Its my understanding that the WBA is the newer unit and has some more flexibility in its ability to accept different currencies with a software change.
It has a wider bill path so not limited to us currency but i think you do need different cash cans and input bills (plastic part that extends through the front of the machine)

WBA = World Bill Acceptor.

The WBA is newer and a cleaner design.
No need to unplug connections before removing the BV or transport.
I cant remember if the 10/11 had 4 way acceptance or not.
