Is there really a difference w/ all these MBC

i have a habit of buying stuff even when i don't need it- so right now i have a hallman w/ceramic ball mbc, forge mbc and the dejon tool mbc. the price point also goes in the same order. from high to low. i am sure somebody has tried different MBC- or maybe i am just the only crazy one. but does anybody know for a fact that one is better than the other.
oh! and just to let you guys know how obsessive i am about this, i have also a aem boost control solenoid but that one i know for a fact sucks *****!! well at least in my car it did!!!

Yes, the Forge UNOS has a ratcheting knob that clicks 8 times per rotation so that you can keep track of exactly where your boost is set.

Forge dosn't hold PSI as well as the Dejon. I've read all these threads on MBC on this board and others, the same results keep coming up with the Forge. I've recently was tuned by Scott Grey at RRE and during the tune, I kept tappering from 22 PSI spike, dropping down to 16 PSI. It was suggested by Scott and the guys at RRE to switch over to the Dejon MBC. Problem solved, spike 22 PSI tapper down to 20 PSI. I even tried switch from the soft spring to the stiffer spring provied by Forge, it made a difference but would still tapper more then I would like.
This is what I found on my car and my testing between the two.

I had a Hallman RX Pro on my EVO 8 with no problems and minimal taper, and I have the RX Pro in my EVO 9 doing an excellent job as well.

Thats funny, I have never had a problem like that with my forge, it holds just as well as you say your Dijon Tool BC holds, spikes about 23, holds about 21-20.

Definitely not true between the Forge and Dejon (in general) regardless of the individual circumstance on your car.

I believe dynoflash said that the regular Hallman Pro is better than the RX version on the evo? can anyone confirm this?

I'd rather have the remote adjustment in the cockpit that the Halman offers vs. the 8 clicks under the hood. So much easier to fine tune due to weather changes, slight mod changes, fuel changes, etc. The halman holds boost fine.
