Neither is ideal.
For a mini, perhaps you can work a compromise easier. Racing TC, I wouldn't give away either torque or precision. And this is how we arrive at the discussion about servos. A good one will require a very small compromise on anything if at all.
Again, for a mini these requirements are substantially different to a TC hence the lower cost.
Yes, I understand that there is a give and take. The amount gained outweighs the amount lost, so in this case it is a viable option, well for me at least. Also another reason why I always say to buy the best servo one can afford to maximize margin and trim the limits electronically.
I agree that the most ideal way is to have it perfectly aligned, no argument there.
