How does this compare, in terms of a) quality and durability, and b) performance, in comparison to the Westcott 43-Inch?

I can't attest to performance, but build quality and durability is significantly less than the westcott. I returned the phottix the same day I got it, as I opened it up and pieces broke off and inside of it.

I have both. And I reach for this one most of the time. Quality is top notch. And the ability to fold it up and pack it in my bag is awesome. If you bring it in closer the quality of light is the same as tbe 43". I would go with the 36" double fold, you won't be disappointed

I've had mine for almost a year and use it a couple times a month. I'm careful with it but it's held up just fine. I wouldn't consider it super durable but there's that fwiw.

Ive never owned a Westcott brand and its not 43 inch but in comparison to the product I get from Paul C Buff, every bit as good or better. This product very nice in my opinion, strong materials and the fabric seems thicker. What I noticed about these are the main shaft is octagon shaped and seem to be very sturdy....the slider that opens the umbrella can not twist. very nice umbrella. these fit in my camera bag with ease along with my stands and lights all in one, its great. I use mine a lot and haven't had a problem with them.

Larger screen and a more rugged body with better water resistance. That's really it. The two units are otherwise identical as far as I can tell.

Definitely go with the larger version. We have two and it will last for a while.

I reviewed the L70SRW and am only familiar with that model. Other than a difference in price, I'm not sure how they compare. I can only say that I am very pleased with the model I have. I suggest you carefully review the description of each model to make your decision. Sorry I am unable to offer more.

I personally like this better for the durability and size. The fact that it can stand up for viewing is also a nice option. I only have had on e issue with a port plug but that is becUse my two year old kept removing. I think you will be very pleased if you purchase.

As a mater of fact, I talked to the company today. You can find the comparison on the Sharp sight but there is more to it. First the Dynamic contrast is 15000:1 for the 92 and 10000:1 for the 64, making the 92 much better. The 92 came out Feb 07 while the 64 came out Aug 07. Sure the 64 is newer, but the 92 has the contrast. The 92 has another level of backlight (the ambilight function) kind of like a table light with a pull cord, full once more and get a brighter light. You get the picture. 92 has detachable speakers 64 does not. DVI-I conection (for a computer) on the 92 where the 64 has RGB. and lastly, all connections for the 92 are in back while 64 has some on the side. As I said, there is a comparison chart found on the Sharp site. I'll be buying the 92, sure it's about $700 more but it's worth it!

This is a very good equipment by the way; definitely commercial grade. Second equipment (first was a commercial-rated speed bag mount) I've bought from Xmark fitness and they've both turned out very well and I've been very pleased at the price I got them for vs the name brand ones that have the same durability and quality.

I would say that the quality of all of the current production in the listed brands are comparable. The older Craftsman tools, speaking of from the 70s and 80s, I have found to be tighter when new, and of better over all construction. The GearWrench tools are of respectable quality and are a good value, especially if you shop around and can find a good deal online.

I have a 40 inch and 50 inch. The 40 inch is too small while the 50 inch is great. I don't know how much difference there is between the 46 inch and the 50 inch but there is a huge difference between the 40 and 50 inch. If there is not too much difference in the price I would suggest the 50 inch. I am very happy with that.

The 981 is overkill for a 42" set, the 980 will serve you just fine, and it's more refined too.

Probably the best value in terms of quality. Built well and lasts a very long time (my previous one only died after a child pulled the DVD door to prevent it from closing and dropped the entire unit 6 feet to the floor with the door stuck open). Playback was and is always very good.

The 62 series are terrible. They are older models which have poor picture quality and often suffer from horizontal banding issues. Go with the 64 series for sure. I own the 46" 64U series btw.

We have been very happy with the unit and are considering getting another one. I haven't used other makes/models so I can't give you a comparison.

I completely agree with Sandalsallyearlong, I had the 5914 and with all of the flimsy plastic parts, it broke after the second use. I got the 7411 after a lot more research, and have had no problems with it. However, I don't take it up and down the stairs. I think for the extra $50 you can't go wrong with the more sturdy 7411.

I had a 22" Samsung for 6 years and it performed beautifully. When I needed a larger screen I looked at Samsung. The 40" Samsung 6400 I bought also performs beautifully. I bought the 6400 because I can receive movies and text on my Laptop and see them on the TV Screen. I know I can do it on the 6400. If this is important to you, check to see if the 6300 can do it also. Bob C

I can't answer to the quality compared to the 28-70, but it is better than the 17-55 f/2.8 (DX), which was very good. And, yes, it is heavy!

It has slightly higher quality components, but both are excellent machines.I hope that helps.
