Planter opening blades. Prescription tillage blades

I have a case ih 1250 planter and have a lot of trouble with longevity of my blades. Case blades are junk. I tried some aftermarket blades from seiker sales and had a lot better luck. Recently had an ad pop up on Facebook showing a notched type (saw blade) blade from prescription tillage that looked pretty cool. I was curious if anyone has ran them side by side and also had a lot of acres on them? My case blades on a 24 row notill would only go 2000 acres tops and my after market blades would disintegrated at 4500 acres.

Also interested to know if the saw blade type blade held consistent depth after some acres of wear?
