No I don't either.

I have a few with assorted muzzle devices. Other than direction of flame, etc, little to no difference. My 10.5" has an extended A2 style flash hider.
Vuurwapen did a detailed comparison years ago. I wonder what ever happened to him. The only FH better than the A2 was the BE Meyers 249F as I recall.

JP bought the IP for the BE Meyers 249F and others.

The JP equivalent of the 249F, per JP CS is the JPFH-556L. Interesting it has 3 prongs instead of the 4 on the BE Meyers. I've never tested them and generally use either the JP or the A2. The JP and BE Meyers are both fairly long, so if length matters to you get the A2. Heck you can even get fancy A2's if you really want to spend money.

Also consider the White Sound Defense Fossa. It provides some muzzle rise compensation, yet its flash reduction is extremely close to other prong devices. The difference is unnoticeable. You need measuring devices to tell the difference. (Disclosure: I once got a prototype mount from them for free. I passed it on to a member here after test fitting and measuring for WSD. I don’t work for them, have never been paid by them, and that is the only non-consumer interaction that I have had.)
I almost always agree that an A2 is a great option because it is fairly effective, cheap, and only 1 3/4” long. However, if you need maximum flash suppression, especially on a 10.3” gun, a prong type is what you need. Most are 2.25” or longer, and some are long enough at around 3” to to get you the same overall length as a 11.5” with A2. So, there is a significant tradeoff.

I originally had the A2 on the 10.5” upper but replaced it with the SiCo ASR Flash Hider for use with the Omega 300. Both seemed good for flash reduction but he 3-prong was noticeably better.
