I have yet to grasp the concept of how 2 pistons with the same surface area, but differ in # holes, can have a different feel. Also, can't you get the desired "pack" by adjusting oils instead of changing ithout pistons? I understand why you'd change out your pistons if oils starting to get into the high 40's range, but why change them if they have almost identical surface area?
You and I are in the same boat. That's always been my understanding and my experience. I tried a friend's buggy with white 8x1.2, mine with the black 8x1.2, and stock 10x1.1. Oils were all 30r/35f. The stock slapped the hardest, followed by the white (barely slapped), followed by the black (didn't slap).
