The reason this came up in my life is I just saw them when I was shopping for some additional sizes of e-torx sockets to change a car water pump.
Apparently, T-25 is around the limit of using your regular Torx bits on Torx Plus. Any bigger than that, and you risk cam out.
I can't find any advantage in the design of regular Torx. Torx Plus is apparently just superior - and superior enough for many to make the switch.
Get your Torx Plus now, before E-Torx-Plus catches on and you need those too!
