The FSA and Cane Creek are made by the same manufacturer RH Industries. You have to look at features . the Orbit uses caged 5/32nd ball bearings. the Cane creek uses sealed cartridge bearings Some of the FSA Pig headsets are not even sealed so you have to keep them packed in grease, and service the grease regularly or they will give you very short service life. If your rough on headsets then get the sealed cartridge type you can replace bearings easily. The Cane creek S-2 and S-3 are cheap and well sealed both under $30 on Ebay. Sometimes online shops have them pretty cheap. Jensonusa has the S-3 for $30 on sale right now, Nashbar has Several on sale now with free shipping.
