Default JE vs. Arias 9:1 Pistons.... which is better?

ok, pistons for dummies. I've heard good about both but I need to know fact, not opinion. Which really is better, the JE or the Arias 9:1 pistons?

I've run both in the past and had no problems with either. I recommend both brands.

I use and sell both products and have been using them for years. JE has a very quality product, good performance and great pricing.
Arias is a little more expensive but the tolerances are the best in the industry( I know, I measure them in different sets everyday ), they have great reliability, they are alot easier to work with for custom items, they supply great customer service with every set of pistons, they have great performance, Etc.
Opinion, I choose Arias. That is who I use when building a motor for myself! I only use JE when a customer insists on them!

Ahh relax. I am just giving a friend a hard time. What's is so unprofessional about having some fun? Better than being an uptight internet business man. Am I right?

nothing unprofessional about that post. Besides I'm sure everyone would rather deal with a cool guy they can relate to than some bump on a log turd.

I don't think it matters too much, both are good brands. I'm running JE SRP pistons, know people with Arias, Endyn/Wiesco.. no issues. Make triple-double-super sure you have the correct tolerances for gap though..
