Leaf Buttons - Wico and Bob Roberts buttons the same.

Does anyone know if the leaf buttons sold by Wico and those sold by Bob Roberts are identical?  Bob has some additional colors but I think every color sold by Wico including the transparent ones are sold by Bob.  Wico has much lower prices.  Are they the same?  If not, is the difference noticeable?

I believe they are the same buttons. Although Bob's prices on these are higher than Wico, his service and reliability make up for the price difference. If you're in a hurry and want no hassle at all, order from Bob. If you aren't in a hurry, and don't mind making a bunch of calls and waiting for several weeks, then go with Wico.

Bob is an honest, straightforward and outstanding vendor.

The general concensus here, over the years, is don't buy ANYTHING from Wico.
There have been nothing but horror stories about it.

Bob Roberts, on the other hand, has had almost nothing but praise--at least that I can remember.

Yes, they are the same buttons - I just received an order from Bob last week and can confirm this. His prices may be somewhat higher but, as others have said, you'll have no worries dealing with Bob - that fact alone is reason enough to go to Bob for your parts.
