hehe I got a delta fin design! Supposedly best of both worlds. I really don't know why one's better than the other either, but supposedly has to do w/cooling ability vs ease of air flow. I think bar and plate flows better but tube and fin cools better. Something like that, maybe visa-versa.

good reading on the subject.

I have owned both styles but I have been running a bar and plate on the last few setups.
