JK is smoother and more analog like, where AP is more vivid and more resolving. Adding the PurePower battery PSU greatly improves the AP and I think that in that configuration, it is the best of both worlds. In order of performance, I would rate all the converters involwed as follows: AP + Pure Power AP JK mk 3 Stello U3 Halide V-Link HiFace I haven't tried the SOtM piece.

The fact that you can do it in stages (first buy a regular AP 1/2 and the add PP) is another bonus. I'm affraid you will have to send your AP for upgrade as well. They need to make an internal modification to make the PP option work.
