Default SE Compensator - Puget Sound area

Looks like I ended up with an extra SE compensator (long story below). Anyone in the area need one? If so I can also help install (other parts needed and must be purchased separately).

Short version of long story: Pulled my stock compensator because I didn't trust it and because of noise issues. Discovered damage. Ordered SE Compensator on line. Took stock compensator to the dealer who agreed to give me partial credit toward a new one. Didn't manage to cancel ordered compensator in time. Now I have two.

I'm drawing a blank here. What's a compensator? What's it do? What's better about the SE over the stock one. I have a limited with MGS true Duals, TTS Supertuner, PM air cleaner, Woods TW6-6 cams. What is the deal? Is it some kind of compression release? My softtail has manual compression releases...
