Both "X-Factor" cushions from ERD. Any thoughts are welcome.

Well, they don't look all that great to me, to be honest. You want a lot of red in the ASET image and blue for contrast, but green is pretty neutral and is not showing great light performance. I would like to see if I can find any that perform better, but I am not sure I can since most vendors aren't posting the ASET images. Good Old Gold does but they have their modern cushions mixed in with their antique style cushions and it makes them hard to find!

But of these two I would choose the 1.7 F because it is larger than the other one and has a more pleasing shape to me.

I noticed the larger % of green as well, but I am wondering if this is more common with ASETs of this type of cushion? At least it seems that way based on the ones I have seen.

Without seeing in person, i lean more in favor of the 1.70
