If you go through the paper, it’s clear that the microgravity work is proven but the magnetic field work is still under development.

Also the pictures of the fibres are interesting, it’s hard to be sure but my mk1 eyeball estimate is that the magnetic process fibre looks slightly inferior in terms of even surface consistency. Which is a very subjective measurement but if they were of identical quality I would hope the paper author would do a better job of highlighting that fact.
