Heh. You gotta be quite wealthy to afford double butlers with your bike frame
In case this was not an auto-correct mistake, the correct descriptor for a tube where the wall thickness is different at the ends than in the middle is 'double
butted'
In reality, the quality difference between them is negligible. They are quite likely made in the same contract manufacturing facility in Asia. And if you were concerned about component quality, the wheels are the one component that can possibly make a difference to the ride on a new bike (possibly, but probably still barely or not noticeable). Get whichever one fits better. If they fit the same, get the one you like more for whatever reason (aesthetics, colour, handlebar tape texture, etc). If you don't like one more than the other, buy the one that is sold by the shop you like better.
