Magnecor KV85 Competition 8.5mm



The KV85 conductor size (for lack of a better term, the internal wire size) is about 45% thicker in diameter than the 80 series (2.5mm vs 1.75mm). Resistence is reduced about 25% (2.2kOHM ft vs 3kOHM ft. There are other differences you can compare for yourself. Ultimately, you have to decide whether or not the price difference (about $10.00) is worth it.
