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?

    Appreciate the info, Im still entirely new to 90% of these materials as I only have experience with standard PLA and PETG. I just pulled the trigger on a P1S so let the learning curve begin.

    Filaments I’m starting with: Polymaker - PA6-CF, PLA Pro, and ASA Siraya Tech - PET-CF and PET-GF Overture - PLA Pro, TPU 95A

    Ended up getting the AMS 2 combo with hardened steel nozzles and hotends. Im gonna just look around for an air fryer at local thrift stores as the Sunlu E2 seems to be the only filament dryer that can reach 90C+ and $360 for it is a bit insane.
