No doubt the Getrag and Saab transmissions are very different so most likely meaningless.
I found an analysis which shows the Redline MTL is high on Magnesium additives without Calcium and the Honda MTF is high on Calcium additives and no Magnesium. The Honda also is significantly higher in Zinc which is known to reduce wear. From what I have been able to find, Magnesium content can result in higher acid levels over time while the Calcium does not. If this is true, then the Honda might potentially be better for ultimate durability, especially if the oil is not changed regularly. Honda recommends 30k miles for an MTF change which would be about every 6 oil changes in a daily driver. FWIW, they both seem to work well so probably no discernible difference. I'd 100% trust C. Myles's recommendation if he chooses to come on here with one...
