8020 vs. Bosch

Hi Everyone,

I could use some expert opinion on the difference between 8020 and Bosch extrusions. I am looking specifically at the 30-30 (mm) series.

Check out the attached pdf for a quick comparison between the two brands' profile in AutoCAD. Then take a look at the different dimensions between the two brands' t-nuts.

We are having difficulties with our local Bosch distributor, and are considering switching to 8020 instead. Are there any advantages/disadvantages one way or another?
