They both do the job very well. For OCI's of under 7K you can save some money and use the Classic. I've never had one of these filters fail me yet and I use a FilterMag on the oversize Filter Canister.

Agreed, the 14612 classic/P1 look identical except for the color of the can and adbv. The media should be different though.

You forgot that the PureOne has a Teflon coated base gasket.
They can still be coated. I always coat the gaskets on my pureones, and I've yet to have an issue with leaks or sticking. The filters usually come off with just a firm twist by hand.
