They were both lower level skates. Not the lowest if I recall, but from the lower tier. A word of advice, though, I would be careful about starting to buy lots of old gear based on your nostalgia. If you have money to burn and space to store it and you don't care, good on you. However, I have seen and personally experienced this whole "getting back into hockey and wanting to buy lots of old stuff I used to love" thing. You end up burning a lot of money and piling up a lot of junk, and you will most likely eventually just catch up with the tech these days and end up with new gear and have nothing to do with all the stuff you bought. Take it from a guy who bought an ultra carbon when he got back into hockey...

And you recieve sage advice from those who know better on the forum but you smile cos you know your gonna ride that train anyway haha

And then your wife yells at you to get rid of all the junk and you take it to pias and get $8 Worth of store credit for it all, and you can't even buy 2 rolls of tape for that... And then you have to grapple with the Frightening reality of the fact that all the legendary gear of your youth is worth less than two rolls of hockey tape... And then you cry yourself to sleep because you can't handle the truth....

But then you get hooked to ModSquad and start to buy gear, and more gear, then gear you think you need but don't, then gear you don't need at all.... lol.

Not only did the EQ50 get a bum rap but I recall the SE16 having quite the cult following.

The SE16 had the weights in the heel and nobody cared until they were visible in the EQ50. EQ50 got an undeserved bum rap because of that.
