Maybe SpecR I/C is better but I believe that you can't see big difference on an engine with up to 500bhp.
Size does matter!
A big I/C is not always a good solution, you always have to consider what's the best for your engine specification.
For example on my car with a T35 and 630cc injectors I've installed an intercooler from Airtec Rs500 style with 60mm size. If I have installed a bigger one or a SpecR then maybe (I haven't tried it) peak bhp will be raised but all my graph on torque side and spooling time should be worse! So why to compare 2 products with different size and price between them? Each of them is for another engine specifications.
You talk about big coolers negatively effecting spool, look at the density of the cores on the two pictures I showed above. Which of those do you think is going to have the biggest pressure differential across the core?
