Peg Perego travel systems Pliko vs. Converse

[CaraM]

Can anyone describe the difference between the Peg Perego 2001 Pliko Travel System and the Peg Perego 2001 Converse Travel System?

I read about these on the web, so I might be wrong but I think the difference is that the Pliko system is based on a pliko stroller, so it only faces forward (stroller style). It looks to me like the Converse system has a removable stroller seat that can be reversed for use "carriage style" as well as stroller style. Note that the seat has to be removed and reversed; I don't think the handle reverses like on the Venezia. The good thing about the Converse is that the seat can be removed entirely and the CAR seat snaps right on the frame (kind of like a snap N go or whatever those things are called).
If you see one in person, let me know! I'm still looking for a Converse to "test-drive"!
