Are all align FBL controllers the same for different sizes?

I have a 600 FBL with 3G that I no longer use (as I have a 550 and 700e! 3g)

Are all the controllers the same? I was thinking of buying a FBL head for my 250, then using my 'spare' 600 3g controller on the 250

Yes - the FL760 electronics are identical - I have the 3G electronics from a 700 kit on my 450 no problems.

Only difference between the Align 3G kits other than the head is the sensor cable lengths, the 500/600/700 kits came with long and short cables, the 250/450 only come with short cable - stupid as the long cable is a better fit on 450 layouts, and it can't cost more than a few pence !

My 450 3G came with 2 different length cables.

Maybe Align have fixed this then ?

I helped a friend setup one of the early 450 3G pro (black head) kits, only came with short cable. My 250 3G kit only came with short cable. I've setup two 500 3G kits which came with short and long cables.

The long cable was nice on 450SEV2 (used my spare long cable from 700 kit), as it allowed control box to be mounted inside frames, with sensor on top of boom block.

Got my kit over 3 months ago (V1) from Taiwan, back then I was struggling to find anyone who had instructions for the 450 kit that wern't in Chinese. So I would say mine is an older kit.
