1.0 Robic or 1.6 HyperD for single layer Sparrow?

Which would you prefer? Any characteristics of each anyone has to offer? Is one more stretchy than the other? Thanks

i don't have experience with the robic material, but have heard nothing but praise for it. i have a sparrow with the 1.6 hyperD inner and really like that material. it's very strong and silky smooth. good stuff.

The 1.0 Robic is about the same stretchiness as 1.6 HyperD, but i think the Robic has a better feel to it.

I have a SL Sparrow made from 1.0 Robic. Love it. I'm about 240# and I don't notice much, if any stretch, but it isn't as firm as my 1.7 DL WBBB.

I've never felt 1.6 HyperD but when I was talking to Randy and trying to make my decision he mentioned that the HyperD is silky soft/smooth. The Robic has a good feel, but isn't slick. I definitely feel like it will hold me in place once I find my sweet spot.
