1st gen MP with the 2nd gen props: Are you still flying with them?

I've got a 1st gen Mavic Pro, and, like many people, I ordered the 2nd gen props when they came out. I've flown with them quite a few times now, and they're definitely quieter, but I really don't like how they fly. The drone is "mushy" in the air - it doesn't fly nearly as crisply, and position holding is noticeably worse at low altitude.
The props are spinning a good bit slower than the original blades, because they're more corsely pitched, which helps with the noise, but it seems like the motors are struggling a bit to keep them spun up, and there's less power available to respond.
If you've got the same config, what have you worked out over time? I'll use the 2nd gen props if I care about noise, but for just about everything else I do, I fly with the OEM props.
 
Hello from the Hoosier Heartland, ronnysingh.

This a Spark Forum.

Although some Spark pilots may own a Mavic, your questions may be better answered on the Mavic Pilots Forum.

Other than that, welcome to the Spark Pilots Forum.:cool:
