H-Sport Comp (25.5) vs Tarett 23.8?

Looking to upgrade the rear sway bar on my 2009 JCW Clubman from 17 mm to something better.
I had a 19 H-Sport on my previous R50 but am thinking something beefier would be better but
unsure if the H-Sport Comp may be more than I'm looking for on its lowest setting.
The 23.8 mm Tarett bar looks interesting, but I've been unable to find any
info on the actual stiffness range. It has a hollow center bar, and I'm wondering
if it is a little less stiff on the lowest setting compared to the H-Sport Comp bar at its lowest setting.
On the other hand, it looks like the Tarett center hollow bar may have a thicker wall thickness than
the H-Sport Comp's.
The Tarett looks well made, and installation looks quicker, too.
Price is way up there, though.

I'm running 215/45/17 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires 2/3 of the year with oem springs and shocks.

Anyone have experience with these two on R55, R56, etc?

The H&R 22mm solid was perfect on my previous R56!

Its beautiful piece, )Tarret) but don't be fooled, the subframe still needs to be dropped.

1, to remove the OEM bar.
2, to get to the rear bracket bolts.

So leave the frame dropped when installing the bar.
