Lundahl am core Now that the hype has subsided worth it?

Hi all I am interested in the Lundahl 9202 85ma AM core.

The specs can be seen below. Well for the standard. I am confused as too if the am core has to be gaped the same for silicon 85ma core or does it have to be gapped more and have less inductance?

I am concerned about sacrificing the power loss going to the am core.

Now that the am core have been around for years now and hopefully the hype has subsided. How do they compare to the silicon steel and other trans in there price range?

I would like to buy and pair of 9202 and cut them open and adjust the gap perfectly to my needs. Also I want the option of using them in PP or even parallel feed.

I think I could have a lot of fun with a pair. But which cores suit my needs best?

I anyone compared silicon and am cores in the same amp over time?
