Is there a summary post somewhere of Protege vs Vertex vs Dante, etc? I was checking out either the pre-order of the Protege v2 or the Vertex or Dante that I see up on the site now.
Yes, I've written it here, and in the discord several times... The new ProtegeV2 has inline frit into swiss holes so that becomes part of perc depending how much water you fill, smooth with still flavor retention, form factor, amount of water held, Vertex has four large holes non-formed perc, swiss in the downstem and on the outside so it almost always becomes part of the perc though varies depending on the water level, it is almost like a double inside out straight fab, open flow with minimal diffusion, Dante has a circ perc showerhead with slits for smooth pull and diffusion, up through ratchet bloop discs to further break up and almost recycle similar yet different to the vertex Swiss... Probably a bit smoother with more diffusion and less flavor retention comparing Dante to Vertex, so ProtegeV2 could be in between, though it has the different form factor moreso (and Dante is the smallest)
