Hi,
At that level, the difference in strength is not significant, especially as, until further improvements are made, the breaks we are getting are in the eye, not adjacent to the button (see photo's of thre broken samples). Note also that these tests were from several years ago, the sample size was small, and that the benchmark actual rope strength does not appear to have been determined.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
