Anyone know anything about GPR dampers?

Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a damper...finally. I'm looking at Scotts and GPR. I know Scotts are the best in the field, I was just wondering how good the GPRs are. The GPRs are a little cheaper than the Scotts, and you know how it goes, just looking to save money where I can. Any input would be appreciated.

I have heard good things about GPR's. I was even considering one most of them are the same design as a Scotts. But what do I know I don't have one at all.

The question you should ask yourself is "How much is my skin worth to me?". I look at building bikes in a similar manner to how I view building my Jeeps. In the wheeling world, getting somewhere is not the point - its making it back that matters. So, the idea is to overbuild so you don't break anything. Sometimes overbuilding requires you to overbuy, remember - peace of mind is priceless.
