My point still stands, it’s probably a 25-30 whp gain in a true apples to apples comparison, not 75. That’s a huge difference and doesn’t really make me want to trust this company when they “exaggerate” like that.

I’ll revisit this topic if I ever manage to blow my FA20 up, but right now it’s still running pretty strong through all the abuse I’ve thrown its way.
