back when I was looking to buy a Saito FA100 I found a bench ran OS 95V for a good price, I found prop/RPM numbers on both the FA100 and 95V, in "those" numbers I saw the Saito turned the APC 15x6 faster than the OS did, but the OS turned the smaller prop faster, sorry, it's been a long time, I can't remember what that smaller prop was. never the less, that end result with the 15x6 is one of the main 4 reasons why people will buy the Saito over the OS,
now that the Saito/OS thing has been brought up again, I have to say that I have no idea why used OS engines hold a higher resale value over a Saito of the same size, I have seen it many times, and it just makes no brain sense to me
