I am thinking that most vendors keep their prices competitive with their rivals. You could always get cheaper equipment but will be hard pressed to pay less for quality. I tried piecing things together looking for the best price per item, eh and just tossed it out the window and ordered the majority from a single vendor.

i was just looking at their web site.
i'm tempted to buy these:
Buckingham Steel Spurs with Super Climber Pads
http://wesspur.com/Spurs/buckingham_spurs.html
opinions?
I have the aluminum pads and I love 'em. Haven't used the pads you're talking about. They look pretty nice though.

I also think Wesspur is the cheapest. But I can't resist Sherrill, they have it all and there stuff gets to me in only two days.

I have an old pair of those with L pads on them. Don't climb in them much anymore. I do still use them when I have a removal with shaggy bark as I have tree gaffs on them. I use aluminum Bashlin's with pole gaffs mostly now. They are so light I can climb in them all day without hardly knowing I'm wearing them. The steel Buckingham's will be just fine if you are not using them every day for extended periods. Otherwise, there are much better options. To tell the truth, I prefer Klien's with the offset gaffs when it comes to steel spikes but that's just me.

I'm pretty sure it's free shipping over $100 at Wesspur right now. I find their prices to be consistently the lowest without having to ask them to match prices. Plus customer service is the best. It seems I end up using them more than anyone else now for rope and climbing gear.
Although I will add that I have not had a bad experience with any of the major arborist retailers, they all seem to take care of the customer.
Course this is just one guy's opinion...

i am thinking of switching gaffs.
i am Buck titaniums now.the Bashlins look nice as do the Climbrites.Geckos are nice but i tried tree MDS's and the seemed small.i have big legs.they seemed short too.the design is brilliant but if they don't fit,i don't think they are worth trying.
