As one who works in a business (for 30 years) that deals in tooling, fixtures, and clamps I can tell with you good authority that neither of these is worth what they are asking.

Like I said...they are living on a name and will sell for what they can get for it and people will buy it thinking is the best. What's the saying about a fool and his money are soon parted...
As someone who has used six 100-3Cs at a time in a co-op situation to work on 30 bikes per day once a week for 10 years (that 15,600 bikes or 2600 bikes per stand), I can tell you that they are absolutely worth the price. There were 3 more days per week of that kind of usage as well. No other bicycle stand clamp can stand up to that kind of usage. In all that time, we never broke any of the clamps. A lot of adjustment linkages were bent but not a single jaw ever broke.
