Folks that have used both. How do they compare? Is the response of the AL small bearing similar to the FH1?

I have really been enjoying the FH1, and have been considering picking up the small bearing AL.

Thanks for any insights.

Yes, they are the same red pads.

Plays awesome with plastic caps at around 60 grams. However the Gold is more of an Orange.

Update. Got the AL. I’m surprised it doesn’t get more hype. It is much fun. Maybe it does get hype and I just don’t see it. I always claim things like this in honeymoon phase, but I think I like it more than the plastic. Both great throws.
