I've also done the same test they have with the visibility thing. Seaguar and Flouroflex vs. Powerflex and SuperStrong in a fish tank. Didn't see a dang bit of difference, all of the above clearly visible. Doesn't matter what direction the light is coming from. Same result as they got. Been meaning to try a swimming pool, maybe it makes a difference if not looking through glass? But never got around to it. Until proven otherwise, I'm calling the whole invisibility thing a load of marketing crap.
Flouro does have a longevity, and an abrasion resistance advantage. It doesn't soak up water so it holds its strength and diameter better too. But it's stiffer, and again, for most of my fishing that's my first priority. And it doesn't stretch, also a bad thing in my book. Streamers, steelhead, saltwater, bass, etc. I can certainly respect a different viewpoint, there are merits there. But those situations are the exception rather than the rule for me. I'm mostly throwin dries and high stickin nymphs.
