      How we build comparisons

      • We use only the official datasheet published by the manufacturer. No resellers, no press releases.
      • If the datasheet does not state a figure, we leave it blank. We do not estimate or infer.
      • We publish no prices, scores or rankings: we show the differences, the choice depends on the project.
      • Each record carries the date it was read. Manufacturers revise models: check the current version before you buy.
