Has anyone tried/tested SRAM's different 12 speed chains for their TT set up:

-XX SL Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain
-XX Eagle Transmission Flattop Chain
-XX1 Eagle Chain
-RED Flattop Chain
-FORCE Flattop Chain

Usually I train and race with the RED flattop chain but am interested in the other options that look to be lighter and maybe more efficient.

fwiw, most testing has the Force 12sp AXS chain as faster than the Red version. (E.g. Zero Friction's)

I'm suspicious that it's just because the special surface treatment on the Red version has a long break-in period, and no one's tested it beyond ~30 hours. But I have zero data to back that up. So Force is slightly faster in terms of known information.
