Did you mean is there anything better than dream mat or Goldhog? or which is better?
I have a Goldhog Piglet that seems to do well.

From what I've read they seem to be pretty comparable. Only way to tell for sure would be to put a section at the very end of the Raptor and see if you are catching more or less gold in that section in several controlled tests. Think the difference is small enough that variables on material, feed speed, water flow, type of gold make it hard to tell.

Back when I was dredging ,I brought with me several different riffle set up plus different mats / screens for the different streams and gold sizes /shapes in different states I dredged in. When traveling around the Country like I did it only made sense to "be prepared" for what ever happens rather that only wish I had brought it along !
