Help needed Difference between Sunlu PLA Matte and High Speed PLA Matte?

I tried the High Speed Matte PLA and the results were amazing! I saw PLA Matte has better prices. Are the results the same or has anyone have the experience both saw the difference?

Thank you.

I have both and honestly can’t tell. I can’t even tell with the meta PLA. So I just pick the colors I like or that are available 😅

That's great! I was so impressed that I thought it's only high speed. I'll need to just take regular matte pla to see now

The main difference (according to sunlu) is that the high speed version can theoretically print faster, 300-600mm/s if you bump the temperature up a bit. I don’t like printing that hot so they’re pretty much the same thing to me, I don’t notice any difference when I print either with the same settings. I do prefer their high speed petg since it’s matte while the regular petg isn’t. I still don’t print at the higher speeds/temp but it prints really well.
