Or is all the difference in perception of the headsets just when turned by hand in the work stand?
I saw a video where bike mechanics were interviewed about the most overrated bike components. One guy thought that the headset is the most overrated competent, and he made lots of sense. I still haven't run into a headset that is problematic or gave a "cheap" feeling.
