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?

    I’m not an expert but comparing the strength tests and water absorption it seems like a potentially better option than PA6/12. I think I’ll test it with a print and use PET-CF for the non-heat sensitive parts.
