Advice for ABS printing temperature

Hello,

I have some ABS that is recommended to print with max 240(On label of spool)/245(on website), but it print equally well is less and more.
Lets say if a brand of ABS produce the same quality result within a different range of temperature, would be better to print that ABS will the minium temperature possible or print at max possible? or better in the middle of that range? As ABS needs to cool will i have more advantage if i lower temperature? Or print at high temperature give any kind of benefit, like more ridgid and strong object?

ABS is a little more forgiving of print temperature than PLA. Hotter will give you a little better layer adhesion (but you're still likely to get cracks).
