MX-3 v MX-4

Hi guys just a quick one.

Finally found my tube of MX-3(currently using AS5). Is it worth buying MX-4, is there any real difference?

Not particularly. Not performance wise any way. MX-4 is easier to work with which I believe is the reason they got rid of MX-3 so quickly.

Ah OK, I'll stick with the MX-3 then. thanks.

I always found either to be better than AS5 as well.

Comparing to AS5? I doubt it would make much noticable difference (if any).

Majority of people (myself included) prefer the MX is because they are non-conductive (unlike the AS5) thus safer to work with. But if you already have AS5 on your current chip without problem, I see no reason to replace it with the MX.
