The LRP is made by SH. It just has a higher price tag. Most of the SH variants averaged about $140 last time I checked a few months ago. A big red .28 will cost you about $180 plus shipping on average. For that price, I’d buy a Nova .28. Heck, I’d take the Nova regardless of price only because they are rumored to be getting discontinued.

If you want a Taiwanese engine of average power and o.k. Longevity, go for it.
