T Pro SG90 versus Tower Pro SG90 servos


I have previously bought cheapie servos with Tower Pro SG90 labels and now it looks like lots of people are selling T Pro SG90 servos. In fact I just received some and they look just like Tower Pros I have.

Has Tower Pro gone away or are they now marking the servos just as T Pro? Are they the same thing? Or is T Pro another mfgr trying to avoid naming problems while capturing the Tower Pro customers?

Specs on vendors sites show different torques for the same SG90, so that isn't very informative.

Edit:
I just ran some tests on 4 different TPro SG90's and the torque runs right at the advertised 1.2Kgm-cm when first loaded, but it immediately starts dropping and winds up around 1kgm-cm. This is at 4.92v with a regulated 5v power supply. They draw about 0.6 amps at stall current. As usual, you get what you pay for.

My guess is that they are the same servos renamed to avoid trouble with Tower Hobbies. I have some T Pros and they appear to work quite well.
