Mike's Arcade:

Silk-screened, adhesive-backed, 4 mil. vinyl, die cut set of side art. This sideart was color-matched to an original NOS decal at the printing facility. It is guaranteed to match your original in terms of color, texture and glossiness or you can return the product for a full refund.

    * Silk-screened
    * 4 mil adhesive backed vinyl
    * Die cut

Quarterarcade:

One piece of Nintendo Donkey Kong upright side art silk-screened onto 5 mil adhesive backed vinyl. Artwork is color matched and die-cut.

Firstly wtf does 4 and 5 mil mean? Am i being stoopid? It can't be thickness can it?

Secondly, the MA price is about 40% more than QA. Standard margin?

Yes, that is a thickness measurement for vinyl, plastic sheeting and such.

Maybe the Mike's Arcade reproduction is closer to the original?  I can't think of any other reason - Neilyboy used the Quarter Arcade version for his restoration and it looks fantastic.
