7955tg vs.7954sh

Looking at the two servos. Is there a reason anyone would get the 7954? As far as I can tell the 7955 is superior . And only like 10 more bucks. Am I missing something ? By the way this is for my Xr10 on 3s with m2 and cc bec.

Thanks

Jared

7955 is not rated for High Voltage, direct Lipo plug in, while the 7954 is

Not saying the 7955 wont take the volts but Hitech does not recommend using direct plug in Lipo with that servo

Same servo with crappier gears. 7955 is the better servo.

Actually Hitec said on this forum that it is not a problem to run your 7955tg at 7.4V and your warrenty is not voided if you do.
I wanted the 7955tg for my car but the LHS hadn't got the servo in stock so I bought the 7954SH. After 5months on running it with a tight servo saver (astroturf) there was not a single problem and I can't feel any slop in the gears. It's a good servo, but I'd get the 7955tg if it's only 10 bucks more.
