How they differ on the data
Nozzle windows are centered on the same temperature (210°C), and the two windows share 20°C of range, so one profile can cover both. Polymaker PolyLite PLA lists the wider window (40°C against 20°C). Prusament PLA runs 7°C hotter on the bed (window midpoints 43°C and 50°C), and the two windows share 20°C of range, so one profile can cover both. Polymaker PolyLite PLA lists the wider window (35°C against 20°C).
