Default CV-511 vs Katech Ti Retainers

I'm looking to snag some Ti retainers to go along with some PSI 1511ML beehive springs. It seems that CV Products 511 retainer and Katech retainers are the lightest at 5.5 grams. After seeing images of the two, they appear the same. Are they the same? If not, is one a clearly superior product?

I doubt Katech makes there on retainers. They are both probably the same, just in different boxes.
