The hydros I tried on a cafe were horrible. Bravos seem to work much better.

The hysromotives don't have enought blade area for a heavy "v" like a Cafe. Five blades will have to much blade and not enough slip causing probable drive failure.

I have stock 502's and TRS drives. Cafe came with a 23P 3 Blade. Bblades suggested I try a 24P 4 blade.
