I like both companys really... but what I cant stand is when people buy slips... then take the rota emblem off, paint them, and tell people they are SW's.
I believe Rota is a great company that makes a great product FOR THE PRICE..
I was going to get a set of slips.. but then a pair of TE37's popped up and I have loved them eversince, but looking at the quality in Rota's work, compared to Spoon.. I see no reason NOT to buy them, for that much cheaper.
