Being an Avid Shotgunner and teacher of Skeet and Trap maybe I can give you the benifit of my limited knowledge on choke tubes.. One tube (manufacturer)to another you might get a insignificant amount of pattern difference from one or the other. If the constriction on one is .005 and the same on the other you wont be able to tell the difference..

Most gun accessories are just that, add on, market ploys to sell the product.

I have 9 different choke sizes for my shotguns all the way from Extra Full Trap down to cylinder bore.. There are only three that one really needs for the shotgun sports (skeet and Trap) and those are Full (trap) Modified (trap) and Improved Cylinder for Skeet..

Sure I got skeet chokes, but after patterning the different chokes there is not enough difference to warrant spending more money to achieve an insignificant amount of shot spread..
