im looking for a 1 inch threaded headset to replace some complete nightmare headset i have currently. IM most familar with the top and bottom cup design but im looking at the Tange Levin as a replacement. This is one of those that has standard bottom cup and then another race that goes on the top with a reverse cup or cap or this race and bearing.

Is this design superior? I have seen both over the years but mostly the standard top and bottom cup design where the bearings go into the top cup and then the race threads on the fork.
