Project P.I.T.T. Piston vs Spring Pad
Piston vs Spring Pad: The same patch changes two different things: movable attached piston assemblies and Spring Pad reliability.
The same patch changes two different things: movable attached piston assemblies and Spring Pad reliability. Neither is a universal delivery recommendation.
When to investigate Piston
Inspect Piston when a moving assembly or controlled stationary head is central to the design.
Choose by the observed task, not a tool name that merely sounds stronger. Retain the source scope when applying this comparison.

When to investigate Spring Pad
Inspect Spring Pad when the observed question is entry contact and landing consistency.
Keep the input and destination constant when comparing the alternative; a different product or target makes the result a different test.
