Wavey discs tend to be used for weight saving
Well why are the braking ones (reputable firm) making waveys then? Or could northwinds results have been influenced by the state of wear of the discs.

Only way to get decent quality from the dinks is to be over there constantly supervising (every 2 runs at least), or employ someone in country otherwise it just goes downhill steadily.
