So in my never-ending habit of overthinking every decision, here is today's question for those who have gone before:
Lord mounts currently cost about $280 more for a ship set, but that extra spend gets you better vibration damping due to the silicone insert they incorporate. I don't have firsthand experience with this, but I'm aware that they eventually wear out and start to ooze silicone, requiring replacement sooner than simple rubber mounts.
Berry mounts are cheaper, but don't have the insert. More vibration, less money, presumably longer life.
ooze bad, more spend bad....but vibration also bad.
Which way did you guys go here, why, and would you do it again?
It's an IO390 if that matters. As always, diverse opinions welcomed as I wear the numbers off my credit card.
