Mention was made by Rick H that results count. Sure in the worlds, Orion wins, but look at the national level, SMC and other smaller matchers are always there.

I run both and I agree Orion are screaming packs if you pay $100. I would rather pay $49 for 1.194 410 at 35A Ib3800 thanks.

I have teh reinhard edition 3300s and to be honest, the economy IBs from SMC are noticably more consitent from start to finish.

I feel there is a brand premium for some mached cells. Its almost a fasion type thing,
