Marquee: PREMIUM or ULTIMATE from mamemarquees.com
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:08:17 am »
Does anyone know if it's worth the extra $10 to go from Premium to Ultimate?
Can you actually see if it's a Premium or a Ultimate when they are installed in a cab?

I don't actually know since I just paid the extra money.  But, if you haven't cut costs anywhere else, then why start with this $10 now?  If you have cut costs elsewhere I'm afraid I can't help much.

I ordered a couple marquees from them, but i always just paid the extra $10 and i gotta say, they all look great.
i really don't know about the premium, but the Ultimate was definitely worth the money.

Yeah, I'm happy with my ultimate.  But, again, I have never seen a premium.

Ive ordered the premium before the ultimate was available, and have just recently ordered the ultimate  ;D

I got a ship notice so gimme a few and ill tell ya if I can tell a difference.

For 10 bucks I didnt want to take a chance, especially on such a visual part of the cab.

I ordered an ultimate two years ago or so and it still looks the same. High quality stiff. I just ordered another ultimate. Never tried the premium.

Got my order in last week and just recently put it on.

The ultimate is printed  on a plastic type of material. It seems to provide a  more even diffusion of light than one printed on photo paper might .

I would recommend paying the extra 10 bucks, absolutely no regrets. :applaud:

No pics of it installed yet  :-[

The premium is printed on paper which is pretty good at diffusing the light through it. The ultimate is printed on actual film designed for backlighting. The result is more light gets through and the darks are going to be darker and the colors are going to be more vivid.
