Hi. My whites fusion came with an apeks hi profile valve. I'm thinking of replacing it with a low profile valve like my dui had.

Does anyone have opinions -- is there any performance difference, or is this just all about how far out it sticks and how hard it is to get into the harness?

The Whites Fusion comes with a Sitech valve, which IMHO is better than either the high profile or low profile Apeks valves. I'd stick with what you have.
 
I've had 3 apeks valves, all 3 have leaked. I'd stick with si-tech.
