Initially, I was immensely, immensely impressed with the GSO providing great performance for an absolutely magic price and disappointed with the Everbrite being super expensive and not really any different to the GSO.
To-day, now roughly three years later however I can see deterioration of the coatings creeping in all around the edges of the GSO mirror - the Everbrite is exactly the same so rather than puffs of smoke and bravado I can accept the TV marketing as not merely hyperbole and their products in the context of life timeii investment etc.

Prof hi.If thats true then it could apply to all clones etc when ot comes to longevity o f coatings.Could it be just possible that the Gso which I also have coulld have been used more often and thus exposed to the elements more often and thus cleaned more often etc.leading to loss of coatings.Otherwise Im keeping my fingers crossed with mine
