MT or Catto?

[Eric_Anderson]

My new-to-me S1 has a fixed pitch metal Sensenich mounted onto an ageing 180 Lyc. I am more concerned about lightening the load on the crank than I am getting better performance--although I would happily take a performance improvement. I am leaning Catto because two mechanics I trust swear by it. A three-blade Catto is about the same as a two-blade MT after Steen Aero's discount on the MT. I'd like to know of any experiences with either prop from those of you who have tried them. Are the issues with rain real or overblown? And, in the case of the Catto, is the nickel leading edge worth the extra expense.
