Pin Head vs Square top

What is the performance/rating difference between the two main sail designs on an FMS/SC20? I'm ordering sails this year and am wondering which turns out better considering the differences.
Also has anyone looked at Dimension Polyant D4. There is a Pentex version now.
Last question: Will the ARC22 spin pole setup work with the 20 without major problem???

Hi Thom,
The PN adjustment factor for the square top mainsail is 0.995 from US Sailing.
I know nothing good about new sail cloths. I have some CUBIN fiber sails and they shrink and shrink and shrink. They are about a foot short on the luff at this time. The cloth that I will choose in the future will have been out on the market for at least three years. No more of these "new super cloths" for me. The best sail cloth that I know of that is tried and proven is the black max cloth that David Ladurini developed a couple of years ago.
