Opinions Please - Simonis 300 vs Granito M

[3cfan]

Simonis cost about $70 more. Opinions please, which do you prefer? Is one better then the other, or is it the installation/stretching that's more important?

This is kinda like "What Tip or Cue should I use?"
I prefer Granito because of its speed. The cost is just an added benefit. That being said I was recently told that the speed difference equalizes as both cloths age. I trust this man's opinion.

The other consideration is, they do play different, so if you interested in tournaments, you're probably better off with Simonis. It simply more common.

cloth

I had both cloths on my table and Granito lasted only 8 months, Simonis 2years the Granito cloth didn't where good. After 6 months I notice holes in the cloth but it was slightly faster because it was thinner.

Granito has much shorter life... You want faster cloth use 760 Simonis.

Don't want to start anything but my experience both have the same life.
I cover my home table every 3-5 years whether it needs it or not. I am fairly anal about
Keeping it and the balls clean.

In a pool room with say 25+ hours a week then 3 months for either. This would be optimum
Of course optimum is is hard to find or afford.
