Any one has some thoughts or insight regarding this?

Thanks a lot and best regards, Stefan
Do you know tje difference if you have the 2 pistons in your hand?
I do not believe so.....
Finally both pistons are CNC made because there is no way you can get a piston out of a mold in a perfectly fitting shape.
But all is about the material, microcasted will give a stronger material but the Flash did had some bad pistons last year so in a commercial story they tell you they changed materials. Let me tell you if you are depending on different suppliers then there is always a change in materials and you will only notice is in the way how the pinch feels and how fast it is runned in.
