MC remote fill

Can anyone tell me if one is better than the other between using the remote fill that uses a cap on top of a regular MC or the MC that is specifically a remote file MC.

probably depends on what you like. my MC has the cap with two lines going into it with the remote fill on the firewall. other than access to fill it there should be no difference.

I would suppose the only downside to a regular cap with hoses to remote reservoir is that the gasket on the M/C needs to seal real tight, or you'll have a leaker. Probably harder to bleed a M/C made for remote reservoir.
