Big Blue (CMA) vs. Premium Drying towel (Premium autocare)

Does anyone know the difference of these two towles ? Same size, but PAC is $8.00 cheaper !
This is what Premiumautocare says about theirs..."This is the original Premium Drying Towel, the most absorbant waffle weave towel available. This towel is HUGE, super-absorbant and made of the highest quality.

This is what CMA says about theirs..."This is the original, super-absorbing Big Blue Towel. Less expensive "Waffle Weave" towels may not have the absorbency of Big Blue!

I need to place orders for some fellow coworkers and was wondering which to get !

Waffle weave is waffle weave. I've got a BBT from CMA myself but I do have one of PACs smaller waffle weaves and they are pretty much the same thing. If the PAC towel was the size of the BBT then I wouldn't have a problem using it to dry the whole car. If they are offering a towel that looks like BBT, feels like BBT, and is cheaper than BBT then I don't see the dilema.

Probably the same towel from the same manufacturer. That is what I am finding from the different sources, that geeky guy, premium and proper. Cobra=Viper. Call and get the makeup and the density. (threads/sq inch) on these things. If it looks like a duch, smells like a ducks and sounds like a duck. Guess what? It's a duck.

Well, maybe waffle-weaves are waffle-weaves, but my GRAY ones from MFTech are NOTICEABLY softer than my BBT's. The BLUE one from MFTech seems about the same as the BBT, but those gray ones are really something else. BTW, the (again, gray) ones in the Glide, Block, and Waffle kit seem softer than the BBT also. Never had a problem with my BBT's, but there ARE differences out there. FWIW, I confirmed this with Ian at MFTech.
