Foxtech supreme 16" prop

I have to place an order with Foxtech. I was gonna try their 16" supreme props as I hear they are as good or close to tmotor. I just noticed that most of that foxtech line is the same pitch as tmotor but for some reason their 16" is 6 pitch vs 5.4 on the tmotors. So, besides the obvious of increased thrust (about 10% i would believe) are there any down sides to the higher pitch? My main concern is over vibrations.

Slight loss in efficiency. If you google, tmotor cf's where changed back around two years ago. Refined the blade profile an lowered pitch.:)

So the 5.4 is higher efficiency? I would think higher efficiency means less wasted energy and less noise and vibration.
So I wonder why foxtech decided to use a higher pitch on the 16" only. Weird
