Default Difference in Relocation brackets?

Hey fellas, im in the market for some bolt in lca relocation brackets and ive been told good things about BMR products so i was pretty set on buying some until i saw the pretty big price difference from UMI's and BMR bolt in relocation brackets. To me a relocation bracket is a relocation bracket so what am i missing here that can justify the big price difference in the two?

Ive always heard that you get what you pay for but i dont see how that can apply to the these relocation brackets, so whats the good and the bad in the two? any help is appreciated since i want to make my purchase by saturday.

Either one will work fine. There is very little different in relocation brackets other than possibly material thickness.

I've had both UMI and BMR, and I didn't notice a difference between the two...but so far the powdercoating on the UMI is holding up MUCH better than it did on my BMRs. It seemed like it took about a year before BMR's powedercoating started chipping off in massive amounts, as it has with damn near all of their products I've purchased until they went to their Hammerstone finish.
