Useful - I'll look it up.

As the 'debate' rages in the rest of the thread, I remember something similar with the IC on the R53 Mini. Various aftermarket suppliers were claiming improvements based on increased size and design details of their products, then BMW brought out the GP. The IC on that used the same design as the original, but with the addition of a few extra rows (and longer end pieces to suit). While this minimised production costs, testing showed it to flow better, and result in a bigger drop in temperature than not just the original item, but also the aftermarket offerings.
