PacBay blue guides

I was wondering if anybody knows what the difference is between the PacBay TiBlue and the TiOX Blue rings is. I first thought that the TiOX Blue guides were going to be substantially cheaper than the TiBlue rings. It doesn't seem so, from what I can find anyway. I know that the base materials are different, but I just don't understand why PacBay would produce two guides that look almost identical and still be so close in price. Do any of you sponsors carry both types (LCTTBG and LCTBG) and see any difference in price?

Thanks,
Jay

One's a special blend of "unobtanium". Kidding. TiBlue is polished Zirconia with a colored titanium finids, where TiOx is high grade aluminum oxide with a colored titanium finish. The zirconia's are about 15-20% higher in price and harder than TiOx. 15-20% harder? I don't know...
