Just have a look at the other dual capable engines.

I could, but I think it is not a good behavior to give numbers which are for
sure not independent. If you want numbers, just wait after the release a couple
of weeks. Then you will get numbers by some other people. The only thing I will
say is that S9 would not been released if SMK would not believe that it is
better than S8! (And I think so as well).

And you can be happy with it, it is a great engine!
