The Spoon cap looks better as the emblem seems like a clear plastic laminated over the graphics. It is rated at 1.35atm rather than 1.3 for the Mugen, though I do not think .05atm would make much difference.

The thermostat opening of the Mugen seemed smaller than stock, thus possibly increasing resistence to coolant flow. Whether this actually happens or matters, I don't know. The Spoon opening seems stock size.
