Which of these two electrical wiring harnesses?

I'm looking at these two harnesses from Painless. I don't really see the difference. Any advice?

Re: Which of these two electrical wiring harnesses?

The 10206 is ready to go with most of the terminals already crimped and installed into the proper plugs and uses factory wire routing. The 10416 is for the guy who want to customize and try and hide all of the wires under the cab and in the engine compartment.

10206 is easier to install.
10416 allows to to hide all the wire but will require more planning & work.
Both can be installed very clean looking if you do it right.

I am partial to an AAW kit myself, little more money but I think it is worth it

I’m asking because I plan on doing this next winter. Don’t you need a special crimping tool for AAW harnesses? I’ve heard great things and plan on using AAW, but am just starting my research

Yeah since I made this post i've ready a lot of good reviews on the AAW kits. I think i'll go that route. And I found them on ebay for a little cheaper than the Painless kit.
Thanks for the help.

Re: Which of these two electrical wiring harnesses?

Just finished a complete rewire with the AAW Classic Update kit using their crimp tools. Very clean and straightforward. Not sure how it would go without their crimp tool, ends up being a rental for $25 for each tool(2). Very good website and youtube videos, plus you can call and get tech support. MCB Matt who is on this site had a good deal to boot.

AAW is great. I used one on my last project and will be using it again on the next one.
