double twist Euro kit question

[jskeen]

Is there more than one manufacturer of these kits? Are Berea and their resalers the only importer? If not, which one is better and where do I get it? If they are all the same, who's got the best price? I'm looking for Gold TI, Platinum/Rhodium and chrome.

I have no doubt that the parker refill and double twist transmission are better than the regular euro, but do they sell well enough to cover the price difference?


Thanks
James

Aaron at Lau Lau Woodworks sells them. I think these are made by Dayacom and they are nicer than the Bereas, IMO. I've made several and I especially like the better quality platings. Also, they have a great looking clip and don't have that cheap looking black finial. Here's a link, he calls them the "Neopean". http://laulauwood.com/ballpoint-kits.asp
