For me, The prop decision will depend upon an ability to get specific
information from Aerocomposite on the vibration differential compared to the
Hartzell. I would prefer the Aerocomposite 2 blade if the vibration
reduction is significant. I personally don't believe in the long term
viability of a wooden prop in consideration of my type of flying and in the
area I live. (High Moisture, 12% equilibrium moisture content) I just had a
catastrophic engine failure in a Cessna 310 where the jug connecting bolts
vibrated loose and the #1jug, part of the exhaust and part of the case
departed the airplane in flight. Both the FAA and Avemco said that is was
"not uncommon" in both the Continental and the Lycoming engines.
