I wish he would have done some side by side strength tests and a bit more empirical research. I think that's the big thing most carbon fiber people are curious about...which is stronger

But, I was interested to hear the Proto Pasta prints at a much lower temp

There was a time when printing at 250°C made me nervous due to the Teflon isolator. Nowadays with the TF2K isolator and the ruby nozzle, I can be completely relaxed... well at least if you are an UM2 user. The thermal 'bottleneck' of the UMO(+) will always be the PEEK isolator. Apart from that the UMO(+) users might soon be a bit more relaxed at higher temperature... ;-)
