Whipple or Kenne Bell?

My ported eaton is making a rubbing noise now and I'm looking to replace it very quickly with a Whipple or Kenne Bell.
Which one should I go with?

Supporting Vendors,
If you have a strong opinion of either and can get it delivered to me early next week, email me at adami67@hotmail.com

Thanks

For what it is worth, Whipple is telling everyone that mid Oct they will have some compressors in. This was an email response from yesterday:

Mark,
We will start getting compressors in the middle of Oct. and will start shipping towards the end of Oct. We are quite a few kits backordered. We are taking orders and will ship according to how systems were ordered.
Thank you for your interest,
Shonda

Might be a shipment of 5.. Who knows.

Ok all, guess I'll go with the Kenne Bell.
Now, where can I get one quickly (like this week or early next week)?

Email me with suggestions at adami67@hotmail.com

pretty sure the only way you're goin to get one quickly is to buy used, as KB is backordered also on compressors...

I wonder if KB will always be $3k, or if eventually competition will help bring them down.

Well while the KB units are not perfect, and a few have had some problems, Kenne Bell has really stood behind them. He serviced mine even after the warrenty was well over.
