Default DiamondBack or Barnett cables??

Any opinions on HD DiamondBack versus Barnett? Reason I'm asking is the pricing. DiamondBack are soo much more than the Barnett cables. Are they really worth the price?

If I wait until Dec15th, local HD stealer is having a 5-30% spin the wheel off discount on everything in house. So, I'm pretty sure I will be using stock cable length, so might be lucky if they got it in house for the discount. But, usually HD products are made for them, so I wonder how good are the cables compared to Barnett....

Thankx for the tip Gramps. I found a local shop that carries the Magnum and swears by them. I'm even gotting a discount. Going to take my cables so he can size them up.

BTW, I remember you saying you had some troubles with your hand control connectors, releasing the pins. See my post https://www.hdforums.com/m_2471180/tm.htm. Also check my new bars out: https://www.hdforums.com/m_2483427/tm.htm.
