Heatsink Trans coolers

Anyone have any thoughts on the effectiveness of the heatsink style of transmission oil coolers vs the conventional tube and fin or plate styles?

If you're Talking about the B&M canister or Shogun finned tank, You cant beat the fact that you have 3 to 4 more quarts of fluid to absorbe and dissipate heat.........Since I'm in hi gear .3 off the line, I have a canister[heat sink ] AND a double pass fan cooled trans cooler. .....Hot lapping , I rarely see more than 200 deg trans temp. ......Tom

I have been using the B&M canister for more than 5 years w/o any trans issues.
