If you had the choice between 1). NTR or OPM bars OR 2). Engelhard and Johnson & Matthey bars at the same price which would you choose?

There are a few local dealers that seem to price them the same and I was wondering if the "name brand" Englehard/J&M bars were the clear choice over the more generic/newer bars.

The name means more to me. They're long established companies. So I'd pick JM/Engelhard.

IF the price were the same I'd choose Coca-Cola. It's an obvious choice, but the product is the exact same, so it acutally does not make a difference.

Engelhard > original (no letter prefix) Johnson Matthey > the rest. It's all silver, but that's my preference... And that's what the market prices reflect as well. If they're priced the same for you locally, I think it would be worth your time to pick out the Engelhard and JM bars.

My LCS is the same, all his Bars/Rounds are the same price, he often has Engelhard which I snap up.

In the end silver is silver but if I ever need to sell I know I will get more for the Engelhard and JM than OPM or NTR

Johnson Matthey is what I would pick.
