RE: Whisper disc?
What Iam concerned aboutare the slits in the disc. What if the fletching isn't perfectly lined up...do the vanes crash into the disc? These slits seem to be narrow and don't leave much room for error.

RE: Whisper disc?
I do not think I would say that it is "better" than the biscuit but rather different. If you shoot straight fletch or a slight offset then you may be able to get perfect clearance through the rest especially with short vanes.
Last year a friend of mine came up to the shop to BS and we decided to set up the WD and WB on the same bow to see what effects they had in comparison to a typical prong style rest. Accuracy was very comparable between the 3 rests. Noise levels were better on the WD and WB because of their materials but there was a speed reduction on both the WD and WB with the arrows being used. The WB only saw a modest reduction of 1-2 fps while the WD was a little bit more at 3-4 fps.
Hope this is what you were looking for.

RE: Whisper disc?
I have one and used it for a short time. In all fairness, my bow may not have been tuned perfectly, but I had a tough time getting the fletching to pass through the slots properly. The result was that I had fletching damage AND damage to the Whisper Disk's foam.
And, it may have been only me being paranoid, but it seemed like the arrows didn't slide across the foam well. It seemed like there was too much friction between the foam and the arrows, which slowed them down. I couldn't quit thinking of the foam on the disk being similar to a lot of the foam targets.
