Hello again Tonyidle...
Out of interest I have just watched video again and noticed he was comparing the standard PIAA silicon blade to the rest and not the more advanced Si-tech version.
Wonder how different they are?????

Presumably even better. Certainly the silicon blades were all an improvement on the rest.

Interesting. Not sure the video methodology with a single water source is truly realistic. Personally I have very seldom wished that I had better blades but if I did it's nice to know that if I chuck in some more cash I might get a better result.

Oddly enough the original wiper blades on my X290 are still going strong although now over 3 years old. Better quality blades than the Honda ones on the car that never last 12 months.
