Default Mirage vs Mirage Plus

What's the significant difference between the Mirage and Mirage Plus Props?

Seems like the Mirage props are much less expensive, must be a reason for it.

What is the reason?

extra cupping makes a mirage +

A prop shop can do the conversion pretty reasonable.

Mirage is the old version before cupping.

Default difference between the Mirages

The Mirage Most all old style have a rubber bushing or a solid hub not the new drop in flo-torque hub insert.

like bajalion said ,The plus has more cupping and a larger blade area,also the plus has 2 degress less rake than the old style.

The mirage is thinner than a plus and the plus has a much nicer finish than the old style.
Pantera-650
hope all is good to go.

I agree with the + being slower on top end.. for certain applications.

I am hoping my new Accelerator Mirage Darin Labbed for me is faster than both...
