R410a is a 50/50 mix of R32 and R125. R32 makes a great refrigerant (competitive with R290), but R125 isn't particularly good. Look it up and you'll find that R125 has a high GWP. As it turns out, it was really put in so the fluorocarbon companies would have an excuse to phase it out when the patents expire!
