It was a very nice difference in cutting power between the two. Also, the HT pads didn't eat product as badly as the CCS pads do.
I believe the rounded edges of the HT pads leaves less "ghosting", as John and I have come to call it, than the CCS pads do. I've noticed that the hard edge of the CCS pads will allow dry product to accumulate if you're not careful and will mar or ghost the paint.
In theory, the HT pads are very, VERY nice, but execution was the problem. Whoever chose the adhesive for the velcro backing and whoever decided it was a good idea to NOT cover the entire back of the pad with the velcro should go back to the drawing board and fix those little engineering issues and they'd be perfect.
One thing I'm curious about though...is the "tearing apart" of the HT pads due to a more brittle foam formula, or is it because of the design of the velcro loop backing not covering the whole pad? Could be either one of those, or possibly both. I'd LOVE to be a part of the test group that actually tests the new design...if they release one.
