Is there anyone who made an upgrade to Performance sails for H 545? How are your experiences? Which size Genoa is the best fit for those who were using a Genoa for H 545? (For wind force between 15-25 knots)

I have the HPM sails on our 575. I originally got them because I thought they would roll up better in my Leisurefurl boom, but they do sail much better. I have had them in 27 kts of wind so far with full sail and the boat handles well.

They are expensive (its the EPEX technology) but so far so good. I took delivery in late July and had about half a season with them.
