While I don't think I've tried the latest batch on the motorway, I can't imagine them being that much better given they haven't changed anything with the drivetrain. I believe the only difference is the suspension? (which is far superior to the B5s). Even the 6 cylinder is very underwhelming on the motorway IMO.

My biggest complaint with the StreetDecks when they were on the X21 was the noise, they seemed to spend most of their time on the redline as they're just not geared to go 50mph for any significant length of time. Which, given that nearly half of the X21 route is either Motorway, Dual Carriageway, or fast A roads, where they're typically going flat out, isn't ideal!
