Although they appear to be similar, if you check out the specs only the Fortex machine has the same capabilities as the 976. The others are 1080P capable and the S/N is 95 db along with the English unit being priced at $1500. I am sure that Outlaw used a base unit and enhanced it to become the 976. They did something very similar with the 990 and continue to re-brand equipment from other manufacturers.
