Here's my explanation of why 1712 has historically opted for the AM9015 over the BB550. There may be specific applications where the higher power is worth the additional gearing required to get the free speed into a usable range (such as a flywheel shooter tasked with rapid spin-up), but for most high RPM, low-torque applications we opt for the 9015 over the 550. Plus most of those high RPM, high power applications we'd opt for a 775Pro over any 500 series motor.
