Anyone tried Red Line 2 stroke ?

I saw where a fellow was saying he wouldn't use it due to it's high level of viscosity index improvers.
Chickanic on Youtube swears by it, and she's forgotten more about 2 cycle engines than I'll ever know.
I'm pretty certain that Chickanic lauds using ECHO Red Armor 2 cycle oil, not RedLine.
I'm a fan of the VP Racing 2 cycle oil which meets the JASO FD standards.
It's likely due to its base oil not added vii. Also I can't find the typical characteristics of it so I can't say what the vi is. And with it being 108 for a gallon I'd rather buy amsoil saber. But it's phenomenal 2 cycle oil there's no arguing that.
I totally misread the title of this post. Oopsie
I used this:

in my 1992 Yamaha WR250, 2005 Gas Gas EC250 and 2005 KDX220, I thought it was excellent. Top end wear was no worse than other oils I used (Opti and Yamalube R) in various years with these bikes, in fact the last bike I used it in I never rebuilt the top end. I ran 50:1, really clean silencers on all the bikes and barely any smoke. I am too old (and fat) to dirt bike now but I sometimes think about getting back into it and if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to use it again. I also was a big fan of their fork oils.

I like Saber, VP, Red Armor, and HP2. But.... looking for that very best oil that lubes well and is clean as a whistle. Thanks.
I've been using this in E10 fuel treated with Stabil for the last two years at 50:1 in all my 2T kit.
Everything starts easily, no issues with carbs gumming up when stored, plugs stay clean and little smoke.
Red line has been very aggressive on the quality of their products.

lol
lol at the fat part, I've lost 40 pounds just by laying off processed sugar... nearly everything has added sugar.. to start I ate dried fruit from Costco and eventually got tired of it ... also flour tortillas instead if other bread... it's a long process... I am not a religious freak at all but I decided to take the plunge on a partial fast ... it wasn't easy but I'll never go back.. Made my lawn equipment seem heavier for sure, but worth it.
I don't mind smoke and I love smelling exhaust, but carbon really bugs me. Besides castor, which oil do you think smells best when burned?
I'm a fan of Motul 710 2T. No smoke, mild smell, burns clean at 40:1. I get 4 liter jugs for ~$60 which works out to less than $1.50 per mixed gallon.
