I've narrowed my decision to either an MT or Aerocomposities prop.  Does anyone who has either prop have any regrets?

Thanks,

I have had my http://www.aerocomposites.com/ prop now for about 80 hours. The one thing that I am most impressed about is that it does not have even one small mark on the leading edge from sand and/or gravel. The leading edge of the Aerocomposites is nickel and is supposed to be 10 times the thickness of the MT blades stainless leading edge. So far it is working for me.

As far as performance is concerned, I think that the Aerocomposites may be 5 to 8 kts faster then my Hartzell was. This could, however, be just a feeling. Quantitative data in this speed range is extremely hard to verify without prior race results, no other modifications and the exact same atmospheric and flight conditions.
