Anyone using Sunline Super FC Sniper for fluorocarbon tippet?

https://sunlineamerica.com/collections/fluorocarbon/products/super-fc-sniper-1

I am hesitant because it seems to have a significantly lower diameter to break strength ratio. For example, the 0.005 inch (corresponding to a 6X tippet) for the Super FC Sniper is rated for 2.0 lbs break strength, whereas the same diameter in SA Absolute Fluorocarbon is rated for 3.5 lbs. Is this accurate? Why would there be such a massive difference?

I want to experiment using tippets other than those that are typically sold specifically for fly fishing, since I burn through a lot of fluorocarbon tightlining with nymphs and streamers and changing out flies constantly, and it's kind of sad when you're spending almost $20 for just 30 yards for tippet.
