So I suppose the Rapide at £109 is the same as the Fast & Light just green rather than Dpm?

I got a Camo fast and light for £123 last Wednesday , and well happy, look on the other dpm thread for a few reviews, and it has the space saver frame, so no head hitting the pole, the green fast and light doesn't have a space saver frame, that's the difference between the two, and the cost
well other than the colour , ones plane and the others Camo

The camo is the mk2 version. As well as the space saver frame it also has slightly larger sides which improves the cover a little.

Yes it was a rapide but they look identical only green. Seen another go for £56 so even cheaper.

I the rapide 55 green is a Mk1 fast and light. It does not have a space saver frame. I own one and can post up pics if you want to see one.

The camo is a mk2 and has the space saver. There is currently no cyprinus mk2 in green. Same as there is no compact m3 (dpm4) in green, only camo.

It was called a 55” rapide but they all look the same in the photos. Never seen one in the flesh so just going of the photos they put on the listing.

The green ones have the space saver frame in the pictures only .... presumably using Aqua pictures with brand logos photoshopped.

I was OK with this as I knew (from the forum) that this was the case when I ordered.

I guess a braver man than I am could order it, then argue that the goods were not as promised and accept a replacement Camo with space saver frame.
