Generally, Stanwell's are good across the prices, so if you are buying for price, you'll do fine with the lower priced pipe, and if you are buying for appearance, you'll get your money's worth with either. Stanwell has your back. Right now, it seems that PC has the price edge by far on Stanwells.
not really buying price - but I did notice one has a retail of 160 vs the other of 120 or so - before their "WOW - look how much you're saving" price. it seems PC drops prices as inventory gets older. so wondering if I am actually getting a higher retail value with one over the other. Like them both - and have never had a Stanwell that was less than an excellent smoker - so not worried on that account
