I am told that the Forge ones flow better - I also have a pace, but at that time, didnt realise there was much of a difference.

FF did an article on them a few years ago - the original one came out on top by quite a big margin, then the Forge, then Pace.

That's not the first Pace one I've seen do that.... saw one similar to that this weekend as it happens.

Was it an old one?
