Arc Midi R2 / Define R4 window compatibility?

They are based off of the same basic chassis so yes, the panels are interchangable

Posted

I was trying to find through google whether or not the Define R4 and the Arc Midi R2's side panels could be swapped? I.E. If I wanted the clear window side panel on the Arc Midi R2 and the smoked window on the Define R4? (more towards.. the first..)

 

Dimensions on the website are the same for both, but I don't know the subtle differences, as I've not spent enough time with the two at the same time.

 

Thanks ahead of time.

That's good to hear, they have the same outer paintstyle, right? So it wouldn't really.. look any different, except clear/dark depending?

From hands on experience if there is a difference in the paint betweeen the two then I've not been able to pick it

I am wondering too. I bought an Arc midi r2 with solid panel but now I want to buy the windowed panel.

 

Where can we buy that? (I am in France)
