wow, whats up with people trying to missmatch cams, its just retarted, this was done back in the day only because cams where so expensive and cheap *** people were being ghetto, THERE IS NO REASON TO MISSMATCH CAMS, ITS 2009 FOR GOD SAKE!

but to answer your lame easily searchable question use CTR both.
