    I've had both and there is no difference at all between the R1/R6 radial units and the TOKICO mono's from 08> blade.

    they probablly are,but not because they are monoblocs as such,which you seem to think they are.i was just pointing out that just because they are mono's,doesnt make them better.
    piston sizes,materials used in the body,manufacturer process,pistons,seals etc are what make them better
