Haha of course they are just like Origin copied Vertex sides and rear. At least with the Origins I don't have to wait 3 months for the Vertex and can save $100 for the same quality.

25MM with 1 slit down the side and the 55MM are the ones for the wide body and have two slits down the side!

Thats because Origin mass produces their aero like Version Select.

Vertex has much better quality. Hands down

Hand layed I dunno about that maybe. But what I meant by mass produced was a lot more product being made, using cheaper grade material and quality going into it. Thus reproducing a replica thats looks identical to the more expensive brand. But at the same time besides being at a lower price, strength, durability, and quality come into play which the replicas lacks compared to the real deal.

Bottom line is...
You get what you pay for, and knocks-offs are rarely as good as the originals
