We have some pretty fast people in this forum... who are running the SLON pan.
When someone shows up on the West Coast who is a few seconds faster than Mr Bone and running the Fall Line pan on their DCT without issues then I'll be a little inclined to believe it works, until then it appears to be worse for hard driving.

You're talking to a brick wall here SYT. It's become pretty clear to me in my short time on this forum if Slicer sells the product it is the Bible and the all other competitors are inferior and you're not going to change his mind...this isn't the first time I've seen it.
I am interested in the comparison of the two designs though and agree the additional pickup is something to think about. My car gets tracked in 100 degree+ ambient temps frequently and I haven't yet experienced any terrible DCT overheating from it, only the occasional slower shift response, but in the future as part of the next DCT service a pan is something I'm going to consider.
If I still drove my car daily, I would probably do the Fall-Line pan as the extra ground clearance is something to consider on pot-hole filled Dallas roads, but in a mostly-track use case that I have my car in now I would also lean towards the SLON pan for the reasons stated above as well.
