I never noticed that, thanks for pointing it out. Prime is still to me the best method of stress testing based on my experiences. If you can overnight prime with no issues, I say you are good to go. LinX is great, but I've had LinX stable rigs fail prime. So I try to stick to prime unless I'm just looking for quick stability.
