Europa-List: Woodcomp or Airmaster Prop

I am getting close to having to select an electric constant speed feathering 
prop
for my 914-powered Europa XS Trigear.  The choice seems to be between the 
Woodcomp
and the Airmaster.  Does anyone have flight experience of both, to provide
a comparison?

My initial impression is that the Airmaster has a good reputation, but that the
available blades do not have sufficient twist near the root to offer optimum
performance.  Woodcomp blades have the twist, but I have read comments that 
their
after sales service is lacking, and there has been at least on in-flight 
failure.

Are my impressions correct, and how does the performance, including top speed,
compare?  I should add that i am based in the US, and that I am looking at a two
blade prop.  I would appreciate any advice based on real experience.  Thanks

Jerry
