Are all Belton Bricks the same? quality-wise?

[Lubdar]

Hi Team,
   I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with inconsistent quality between Belton BTDR-2H's?

I've typically purchased them from smallbear where they sell for $18 each, but I've recently noticed that mammoth electronics sells them for $12.50 a piece. 

I wasn't sure if there is some sort of quality issue like with PT2399s, or if it just happens to be a different in price.

Best,
   Bradford

I haven't heard of anybody cloning these - would be quite a lot of work, for a very limited pool of buyers.
Small Bear's markups are justifiably significantly more than most web stores, so I wouldn't take the price difference as evidence for anything sinister.

Also note that Accutronics recently changed the casing of some/all of the BTDR bricks, so if it looks different than expected, don't panic.

p.s. I wouldn't buy the BTDR-2 as the newer BTDR-3 is a significant improvement.

The ones I sell I purchase directly from accutronics.  I'm sure the big guys do the same.
