1500 is older and hasn't been updated yet. It was based on testing as was 1851 but now for some reason 1851 just goes on age so I'm sure 1500 will be right behind it in the next go-round. Should be based on testing, after all 10 year old gear that hasn't seen 40 fires of any kind should be fine to us if it was taken care of. Emphasis on if...
