The Helios is rated at 0.8 A, so it theoretically should outperform a PST in every way



Except that the tighter bandwidth works against you if the tuning isn't accurate ... and tends to make prominences fainter, especially the doppler shifted ones.

Lower bandwidth helps with surface features; higher bandwidth (up to a point) helps with prominences.
