I'm not familiar with the M2 rotor, but to me, the HDR- 300 isn't even in
the same league as the PST-61. I went through several HDR 300s in as many
weeks. I ordered the PST-61 and it's been going a good two years.
There are probably better rotors out there, but my experience has been some
what limited.
