Orange- Slightly more solid flight characteristics/ faster openings
HMA- Slightly softer flight characteristics / much nicer openings

Comp velo 84 at 2.6 used everyday for camera.

SO the wear can be expected to be about the same?

I had a Crossfire that MEL relined with orange vectran. My other crossfires have been the traditional vectran. I didn't notice much difference in the openings but the coated vectran seemed to wear a little bit better. To be honest I didn't have a great comparison other than wear and opening characteristics. My other canopy at the time was larger and flew much differently so it was sort of apples and oranges. I liked it enough that I'll get it on my next reline.
