From the link: http://www.thermochill.com/pa1203.php

The PA Series boasts from 10-40% better performance over the HE Series. 10% for the high / noisy airflow end of the fan market, and up to 40% for the low airflow / silence end of the market.
Can I safely assume the same level of improvement for a PA120.2 over a HE120.2? BillA never did any 120.3 numbers in his famous review, but did plenty of HE120.2 testing.

Eg: from the link on your site, graph 14 here: http://www.overclockers.com/articles778/index04.asp

So, when you say the airflow/silence crowd, I'd assume you mean Papst 4312L @ 7V, which for us would mean C/W values around 0.09.

So, 40% better means that C/W drops to around 0.05?

That's a pretty serious improvement....
