I have one that I got recently, and I was expecting an A9. I was pleasantly
surprised to receive a far superior product. The bearings do not use a
pressed steel washer for a race (they're heavier machined pieces like an
automotive wheel bearing) and are inverted in relation to the StrongLight.
The aluminum parts are machined instead of cast. It also looks like a normal
stack height (36-38mm, depending on washer thickness).
