Default opinions on apr fmic?

how does it compare to SPPs fmic, and EVOms?

have pictures?

i know it's a top->bottom design, which supposedly makes it more efficient. but why? i think the traditional way looks better, but performance dif is also important.

also, im looking to purchase this used from an AZ member. they claim it is an older fmic, not the current one that is on their website. anyone know the differences?

Default Air cools better in a long feed rather than a short feed...

I love APR but, with air having to travel a longer distance from side to side it will cool better. APR claims a top to bottom feed dissipates heat better, that is true BUT with such a short design there is too short of a feed for it to cool down. If the FMIC was longer or in APR's case taller the air would cool much better. Only makes sense that air will cool down in a longer channel no matter what direction its facing. Just what I think. Side to side is better
