2 different Freak Calls, whats the difference?

I'm going to get the Freak by Primos here soon. I noticed that there are two different types of them. Being that I'm new to Turkey hunting, which one should I get and why? Also, where is a good place to buy one? Thanks.

One is Masonite surface the other is "crystal" = glass, and I think that the strykers are different too...I have the masonite one and love it the only thing I think would be an issue is that when your staked out pre-dawn and the dew hits the masonite call might be effected but thats about it for now. I belive the crystal call would produce a louder call than the masonite but not for sure...

i use the one with frictionite and i like it. have found that it has good volume and sounds realistic. also found that i have a couple strikers from other slate calls that work better than the primos striker.

Thanks for the responses so far. I'm having a tough time finding a place to buy one. Where would you guys recommend to buy one on-line or over the counter? Thanks.
