No over pressure valve like the mk23. I wonder why they even did that for the mk23, since it shoots the same FPS(around 330) anyway. Holds propane absolutely perfectly

Firefly hard is actually VERY NOTICEABLY softer than stock TM rubbers. Same with the AEG version as well, the Firefly Hard for AEG is as soft as stock TM rubber.
I think they put the overflow valve so you couldn't fill the MK23 up with Red Gas or something that's higher pressure than propane..

But anyways, Firefly rubbers work in a different way than the marui rubbers, because of the two separate nubs it applies a different pressure onto the BB... If you translate the packaging to english there's a FPS recommendation and the hard rubber (If I remember correctly) is somewhere around 400-500 FPS.

If you've got a spare soft I'd give it a try, you'll most likely see an increase in range
