cost cutting measures in place?

New bitspower fittings vs Old bitspower fittings.

Not to mention the new bitspower fittings are more expensive.

lol.

outer diameter is the same.

inner diameter is wider, meaning the wall of the fittings are thinner, using less material.

i think bigger inner diameter is better... more flow.
but bp compression sleeves are really fingerprint scrapers...
makes me want to try out the ek compression fittings, if i do another project
