Which of these are better?

I need to replace the K-frame bushings on my 73. I can get the lower part still from the local dealer but he can't get the uppers. These two are on ebay. Other than one being 73% higher is there anything different or is one better than the other?

I bought the prothane ones only because they were cheaper. I have not installed them but they look pretty nice and should fit fine.

Those are the ones I'm leaning toward but only due to the cost since I know nothing about them. I thought if the others were better for some reason I'd spend the few extra bucks. If nobody chimes in with a reason for the more expensive ones, I'll get the prothane ones.

Different distributors want different margins and think they operate in  big enough vacuum that no one will notice the price difference. There probably are no differences at all in the products.

Phrotane looks more correct to me on pics... if you care about the stockish look ( due the oval shape on the lower section )

I ordered them from Summit. I've thought about making a run up there sometime but I know if I do I'll come home with more than I can afford to pay off.  :drool5:  I'm only about 80 miles south of them.
