I'm pricing out an order of 1/4" corby's and sheffield supply has them for $1.10/set in 303 stainless, everyone else seems to be selling them for around the $2 mark but out of 416 ss. Does it really make a difference to use 300 series rather then 416? I'd like to go for the lower cost obviously, but don't want a bulk order of something sub-par. Are the corby's from sheffield's decent quality?

Thanks,

Nathan
 
I've used both many times. I can't tell any difference in finishing them out.

And of course, no difference in use. We all know what kind of absolute abuse even the brass ones will take. :)

Go for the ones from sheffield.
