VexPro vs. Andymark Mecanum Wheels

Hello Everybody, I was surfing the web daydreaming about different combinations drive-trains when I noticed that the vex Mecanum wheels are notably cheaper than the Andy Mark ones. I am looking at the 8'' option and Andy Mark has two options.

HD Option ($459) - http://www.andymark.com/8in-Mecanum-...-p/am-2118.htm
Normal Option ($305) - http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0083.htm

Vex seems to have one option:
($189) http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/wh...um-wheels.html

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has experience with both and could elaborate some differences as far as performance. Is it worth spending more and going with AM or staying cheaper and going with vex?
