Send me the individual units, and I'll compare them, If I still like the 256 better, I keep them all, if not I keep them all! J/K

Thank you for your honest and quick reply!

Duty cycle was not a issue for me as I've never ran a bead longer than a minute or two, nor was it at full power.

I would like individual units some day, but thats a lot of "GREEN" pun intended
