But, since you're very impressed with the higher priced XG though, you should likely go with it.
Thanks for the pics.
This XG has always showed a very consistant results. I'm not saying the P1 is a bad filter, however I've been having more and more problems with them the last 2-3 that were cut open. If you do a search you will see that other P1 14610 has shown great results in the past but not so much lately.
