My Habitat has a white Hunter Ashlyn for $25.
My Ace has a brushed nickel Auberville (with the older Hunter logo on the box, old stock) for $89.
Are either of those any good or worth getting?

Not sure on the specs of the Asheville.
The auberville what style box older ones had a 172 motor and essentially was a Beacon Hill with a bowl light kit.
The newer ones had 153s and I bought a few for a project each one got returned because they were noisiest and I mean noisy bearings right out the box and have seen it happen as well on others besides that one time.

It’s the older green box with the pre 2008 oval logo. I would think it would be one of the better ones but not sure. It has the tulip arms like the Low Profile, Passport III, etc. Also I did pick up a Low Profile IV at Habitat last week. I wish it was like the Home Depot exclusive ones but I do Like the look of it. Unfortunately once I got it in the car realized it’s newer than I thought, it had the newer logo and from 2012. Looks like a thicker 153mm in it. |

You probably should be ok with it then.
The low profiles are favorites of mine the Home Depot version.. good performers and very quiet. I know the ones with the rounder blades however have less ventilation on the motor but seem to be fine noise wise!

Turns out it was $129, so I decided to pass on it for now.
