Scott, did they mention a specific reason they liked it better? I've read a bit about the chemistry of WW and from what I can tell, it's good at doing what it's supposed to do. Not to say something else can't be better of course.
I don't remember the specifics, but it was more of an issue w/ WW gunking up in the coolant passages more than actual cooling performance or something. The RP stuff is just supposed to be a better conditioner for the system I guess? I really don't remember.
