We have some shop employees at Fanatik that ran the Ion Pro 1300 RT instead of Hangover because they wanted more punch. They run Portal now, the intent was to cover that specific use case for those wanting more punch on the helmet. The extra width isn’t about noise it’s about peripheral visibility, helps with balance and not losing your line so easily with a narrow harsh spot is all. Still though, if you’re happy with the Ion, and don’t feel like you NEED anything else, then run it!
