Frankly, I've only seen the pictures of yours on your website, and I
have seen Tony's in person, and on that comparison, I'd have to say, yes
the workmanship on Quick D's is better. The mounting of the butterflies,
the "S" bolt, and the finish of the top of the bore all contribute to an
appearance of quality.
