Lab finished props

I just sent my 4 blade 30 pitch props back to Hydromotive to have the big propshaft hubs installed and to have them lab finished,what should I expect from all of this,some people say that I will not see a difference and some say that I will see a big difference,more RPM and a little more top end and a much greater cruising speed,what has been some of your experiences by doing this,just curious especially since it is costing about 1200 to 1300 to have all of this done including having the bigger hubs installed and shipping.

that's pretty steep for reworking Bravo props.
How long's your boat, what power?
