Has anyone use the 10 mIU/mL tests?

I worked last night, and had time to kill...so I ordered some pg tests.  I usually buy from Amazon, but decided to check early-pregnancy-tests.com.  I ended up buying the normal 20 mIU/mL tests, but saw that they have a 10 mIU/mL test.  Has anyone used this test?  Are you actually able to pick up a positive that much earlier?  If these are such amazing tests, why aren't companies like FRER picking making tests that sensitive too?

I have not used them, but that is a good question about why a name brand company doesn't pick them up and sell them.

Are they the ones with the blue and green handles?  I think green is the ovulation ones if I remember correctly and blue is hpt?

The picture for both the 20mIU/mL tests and the 10 mIU/mL tests is the same:

10mIU/mL:  https://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/extra-sensitive-pregnancy-test.html

only a 15 cents per test difference, but I don't know if it is a marketing gimmick or not.  I would think that if the test was truly a valid test, you might get a positive earlier, but the reviews seem to be saying 10 dpo-12 dpo for the most part (and that's when some positives are found with traditional tests).

That's strange.  I used those once but not sure which ones I used since they look the same (someone sent them to me which was nice)...but I got false positives which sucked.  It may have just been a bad batch though.

I bought 50 of those this time around. They are IMO as good as normal wondfos. Actually, I found that the wondfos (20-25miu) showed a better second line than the 10 miu. It took a few days after my original BFP but the 10 miu DO get darker.

IMO, I like them enough to test early with them but I will always back it up with a FRER.

Here are some photos of the 10 miu vs wondfo vs FRER:
