Before I buy the Sleek 4G
My wife and I are long time users of the sleek 3G. We use the sleek cradle connected to a Wilson truckers antenna, which is mounted on a redneck extendable paint-pole slid into a piece of pvc pipe zip...

I'll have to take a look and read the info for those different models
I can tell you, that Wilson changed the branding..weboost is Wilson
Bringing out one model to cover ALL 4G lte , would simplify production sales and shipping
Older models would still be in the distribution pipeline
That's ok MrWizard, you have done a bunch already.
I did a bunch of reading at 2am this morning and as near as I can figure out this is the weboost unit I need, although the initial reviews are not as good as I had hoped. I found it on Amazon and ordered one, supposed to be here today. If it works as advertised and actually covers all bands I should be able to return the non -V sleek I purchased.

As an aside I remembered we had another verizon 4G phone in this household which I had forgotten about and that is my wifes work phone, a Black Berry.
When all three of the phones happen to be in the household yesterday I did some quick testing using the wilson sleek non-V (LTE) model attached to the truckers antenna outside.
Wifes Galaxy nexus: as Mr.Wizard mentioned it shows as 4G but does not specify LTE on the strength meter like the other two models. (not that this matters, just fyi)
unboosted = 1 bar. boosted = 2 bars.
Sons Galaxy S4: shows 4G LTE on meter.
unboosted = 2 bars, boosted 2 bars.
Wifes Blackberry: shows 4G LTE on meter.
unboosted = 3 bars, boosted 3 bars.
So the above mostly tracks with the fact that a particular booster is needed to cover the 4G LTE spectrum. Hopefully when I receive the weboost it will boost these phones. (this is home testing and the signal will likely be weaker where we camp)
