Better Deal - Optimo or VS
They both are selling top of the line models north of $1000. Value is in the end product, not the raw materials. Raw material comparison just establishes some baseline like canvas & paint does for painters or pen, ink & paper does for poets.... -

Better Deal - Optimo or VS
