Default RE: mini servos in .40-size plane?

I dont think its so much the torque of the 225 that makes it strip as much as I think its just a cheaply made servo with sub standard gears in it. If you look at the hitech 425 standard sized servos on 4.8 volts it has less torque than the 225 on 6 volts. Case in point. I put the 225's on my profile with 6 volts, they all failed. I have run many 425's (4.8v) on profiles with zero problems. "Mighty Mini" is really bad advertising. From looking at the stats you think its the perfect servo to replace a standard servo (which works fine on a .40 sized profile). I replaced the "mighty Minis" with MPI mini servos and I havent had a problem in over 200(+) really hardcore flights. I like the idea of the mini servos on profiles and other small 3D ships and I think I will try the Cirrus MG mini on the next .40 sized plane I do.
