funny how the *** can sound better than the SE, maybe the new basket adds some special SQs to it, the only difference in the 2 is the basket and motor cover, the T/S params are exactly the same and the motor/coil structure has not changed one bit..
stop trying to make them sound better than they are.
but yes they will do more than rated, they have a 3" coil so thermally can take a tad over 600.
my view on it, not a fan of the new RE, and its a shame they cant make a change to a product rather than it's appearance.
