Wood Body Blocks, any difference between vendors

[dahrens1]

Has anyone ever noticed if there was any difference in quality, craftsmanship, precision, etc. of the wood body blocks sold by the Model A vendors? Is it worth it to pay a little extra for the blocks from one vendor over another? Or are they basically all made by one source (perhaps overseas) and it doesn't matter.

Thanks for you input

I don't think it matters. I suspect most of the vendors get their blocks for the same supplier. I have several sets I got from various places and they all seem pretty much the same.

For example Co. A is a wholesaler and also sells retail. Co B can buy 20 of an item from Co A, Co C can only buy and stock 10, Co B can offer a better price then C because they get the per piece at a lower cost. Generally all prices are in the same ballpark on the retail level including Co A because they don't want to under price too much, they need their wholesale buyers (other retailers) to keep the parts producers in business by Co A buying in volume from them and then supplying the parts to the trade at a discount and still make money in the process.
