Suffix is definitely quieter than Power Pro. Suffix is also a 6 strand braid while Power Pro is a 4 strand braid. The 6 strand braid is better (for me anyways) because I get a lot fewer tip snags. Also the BPS in Prattville carries the bright orange Suffix but I have to order online the bright yellow Power Pro. I use the bright colors so I can see my line on the water since I fish mostly weightless plastics. I tie a CFX fluoro leader onto the braid using a J-knot. Line conditioner does help add a bit more casting distance even with braid. And I think the conditioner helps keep the color from fading as fast and it helps keep it from fraying as quick too.
