When new, Champ EL's are deceptively beefy, about as stable as Teebirds but when they are broken in really good they're like faster Leopards.
Thank for the scoop on ELs. Do they go directly from Teebird-like to Leopard-like, or do they spend a decent amount of time in the sweet spot between the two? When an EL starts beating in, does it first lose HSS, LSS, or both?
If you're looking for something for controlled turnovers out of the box I'd look elsewhere like a Leopard, XL, or light River.
Leopards are my go-to driver in the woods, but I do not trust a Leopard to come back once turned past a certain amount. I am looking for something that can be turned (from anhyzer or hyzer, either is fine), but with enough LSS to fade back reliably. 150 XL would be perfect if available in ESP or Z, but I worry that a Pro-D XL would lose its LSS and turn into a Leopard too quickly.
I hope that Lat64 makes a 150 River some day. Can you imagine the glide?
