Default Q-75 or 3W 75?

Anyone know how the Quadra 75 compares to the 3W 75 as far as power, prop, and rpms?

My tach says the ZDZ-80 is significantly stronger than the 3W-75, at least 500 rpm more on a Menz-S 26x10. The 3W is a little less money ($50 cheaper), but weighs about 1 pound more.

I will be needing more pull out of a hover and less forward speed. So I will probably stay in the 6 to 8 pitch on the prop. I have a BME 102 motor for my 31% CA 300L but it doesn't fit in the cowl. They recomend a 3W 75 and I have a Quadra 75. I just don't know how much power I will loose if I use the Quadra. Weight is about the same on both motors if I use the Quadra B model and I need about a 5 pound engine for balance. Thanks.

Either motor will be plenty for the 31% CA. It will probably come out around 23 lbs.
