PPA-CF vs PA6-CF?

Does anyone have experience printing PPA-CF and PA6-CF? I had read that “PPA-CF is 48% stronger” than PA6 if you get good layer adhesion, but I’m seeing conflicting info regarding impact resistance. Anyone have input who’s printed and used both?

    That’s true for every filament. None of the PA6 is just PA6. Same for PLA. PETG can vary wildly in how much glycol gets replaced. The list goes on. But in all those cases, the name accurately identifies the base chemistry. That is in stark contrast to the name PAHT which doesn’t even give you that much.
