Default RE: diference in performance on engines question please.

Unfortunately the manufacturers dont have a way to post idle and transition characteristics. Good Idle and transition makes your engine far more user friendly than raw power .
Trying to deal with a balky engine while trying to fly your nice sport plane is frustrating.
Although Ihave seen Super Tigres that would idle and transition well I would bet on the OS to give better running.
Posted RPM range means almost nothing to us.
