[QUOTE="archive10, post: 885670"] Well, size isn't everything, is it? I agree that with most dishes, the size is the key determinant for selection when buying a new dish. But in theory, the gain also gives an indication of the effeciency of the dish design and manufacture. I.e. the SMC dishes tend to perform slightly compared to pressed steel dishes of same size (I say, bracing myself for the oncoming storm). And indeed, when talking about cheap petalised stuff (Jonsas), it's a different kettle of fish as they are both badly made, and difficult to assemble really well. The gain figure given by the mfg may have nothing to do with the end result... In practicality, the gain of two similar sized dishes (180cm) is roughly the same, so that figure alone is not enough for a choice. And I agree, therefore irrelevant to most users. [/QUOTE]
