Default Blazer or Quick Spin ST

Went to my local archery shop Saturday and took some arrows in to get fletched in 2" vanes. I was going to get the Blazers, but the owner of the shop showed me the Quick Spin ST vane and I really liked how durable it seems. They cost a little more but I ended up having him put the QS's on. Which one do you like more? What are the pros and cons?
Thanks
Chris

I said Quickspins only because its the only one of the two i have shot , but i am changing to Blazers now and will give my honest opinion and review when i tried them .

As for the QSST hunters i have always used , i love'em . Just a little too expensive . They group brilliantly , i just wanted a change .

Apart from price , i think you like them too .

I have fletched up arrows with the QS Speed Hunters & Blazers and shot them side by side. I think the Speed Hunters have a Slight advantage, and the new ST is super tough. Price is still steep but all things considered won't break the bank. Also the Tiger Stripe Blazers took a Big price jump this year.

I'm sticking w/ Blazers. A couple things that I like are the lighter weight. It helps on FOC, andI've put several through a target without waving the edges.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one, but I shoot the Quikspin ST's and love 'em. MeanV is right, they new ST material does not wave like the old material did. Mine have held up a LOT better.
