Default What is the difference between a s3004 an a s3001?

What makes it a "precision" servo? They are both BB, but the 3004 weighs less, is faster, and has more torque. Why pay more for a heavier, slower, less powerful servo. The precision had better make a difference, to compensate for the weight, reduced power,and reduced speed. What do you think? Is this a typo, all of my info is off of the tower annual catalog.(the big one, they always send before Christmas, to make me spend my money)
Also, I realize that the weight gain is very slight, the power reduction is slight, and the speed is only slightly slower, but how do they make it a "precision" servo, and how much more precise is it? Thanks for your input.

Please see the thread called "s148, outdated?"

the S3001 is the S148 with ball bearing. It is indirect drive and is fine in helcopter installations.

the S3004 is the 3003 with ball bearing. It is direct drive and NOT intended for heli use, as it cant take the vibrations.
