Paul,

They may look alike from a distance, but they are not. The PCY80S has 
a rigid on the top of the rim, the PCY65S has a flat top with a 
dippled surface. The connector on the underside of the pad is much 
more beefer on the PCY65S than it is on the PCY80S. The angle of the 
connector is also different. A PCY80S can take a straight connector 
without interfering with the mounting arm, the PCY65S needs a 90 
degree connector.  There are photos of the PCY80S in the photos 
section. I will take some photos tonight of the PCY65S to add to this 
site. They function the same. I prefer the PCY65S over the PCY80s, as 
it seems to be less likely to self-choke.
