S27 photoetch vs. ScaleMotorsport photoetch

[Jedi801]

Which one is better? I ordered the Studio 27 upgrade sets for my CLK DTM and Opel Astra DTM. I have only used the front discs for the CLK and they were kind of a pain. I had to cut a little of the rotor where it is supposed to fit in close to the caliper. I was looking at the Scale Motorsport site for carbon fiber decals and saw there pe kits. The one for the CLK looks like it includes more pieces then my studio 27 one. Which one do you guys prefer?

I've not used many etched sets from either manufacturer but i've read that SMS are more acurate and you can obviously see most of thier sets have more parts.

And SMS stuff is very expensive too. You pay for what you get, I guess.

I've currently got their CLK-GTR and 911GT1 detail sets. There're some incredibly fine parts on the tree, much sharper than anything I've seen from S27.

I'd have to recommend SMS. They have excellent customer service. I lost one of the pieces to the Mazda 787B set, I e-mailed them and within three days another complete set was at my door. They may be expensive at $20 a set but some of the older ones are only ~$10 if you know where to look.

However I feel S27 maybe responding to the competition! Look at their recent sets for the Peugeot 206WRC 2002 and Lancer EVO sets. Amazing number of parts, and still same price! I presume all this is good for us, the consumers.
