Default Low profile servo or not?

Hey guys, need some input on Futaba and Ko's low profile servos? I've had my larger KO servo 120oz/.07 for years, but I was wondering if people like the low profile over the standard servos? In terms of weight, response, speed and torque? I have seen a lot of the Futaba one's up for sale so I'm leery about the Futaba. It's for my 008 in Trans Am. Thanks for any info.

I've been running the Futaba 9550 in touring for years. Never had any issues at all, very happy with the performance.

I'm running low profile because it fits the car better.

I have had both the KO and the futaba. My Futaba is still going strong even after it's third season.

The KO was a great one as well but I think the Futaba is a touch faster and stronger feeling on the track. I can't remember what the stat's were but I remember doing a few back to backs and like the Futaba better.

I currently have a KO in my touring car. And it is damn great. Responsive, precise, and durable.

I've also ran a Futaba 9550 and had great results with that servo as well.

I have both and can't tell the difference between the two. On paper, one has more torque and the other has more speed.
