Default 853s Vs 241s

Maybe I am mistaking but I was under the impression that the stock 241s flowed better than the stock 853s. If i am wrong someone please correct me.

there has to be 1000000000 threads on this. 853 was cast in 98-2000 241 started coming out in late 2000. The on REAL difference between the two is the casting process. And if you put them next to each other you can see a a bit more consistent casting with the 241's. This however isnt enough to say that they flow better than a 853, but if I had my choice between the two I would get the 241's.
