Taskforce cab corners: what's the diff?

Can someone explain to me what's the difference between these two other? One says 14", the other 15", but is that extra inch worth twice the price? Am I missing something?

The more expensive one is made on new tooling. Its suposed to be a more acurate stamping of the original.
I don't know the quality of the Short one so I can't say if its any better or not.

bet that was why my buddy got the one at the swapmeet so cheap,they must have been the 14" ones. hey look like they worked just fine to me. 99% of the suppliers sheetmetal comes from "counterparts" and is usually marked up 100%. this is from seeing a actual pricing catalog for these parts.

Counterparts is expensive. I know for a fact I can't markup double my cost and still be competitive. I wish I could get 25% return on a panel. 100% I wouldn't be able to sell anything.
