If you can handle an extra .7 oz., it works great. The extra weight was welcome in my car because I had some added to balance it anyways. I do like the G9 power band for touring car (read: midrange up).
I think the G9 has like a 400 amp peak rating. Not sure but, most of the top of lines out there now are 160-170 and below. Correct me if that's not correct, going by memory.
I would expect lower end models also. There is probably 10 of those sold for every 1 high end model.
take care

The G9 was released the same time when the 1:10 Onroad Worlds were held at the Revelation Raceway in Ontario/California.
Was 1997 or 1998 I donīt remember exactly but I also bought one of the G9īs there.
