I use PiezoTones, in various combinations. I'm afraid I can't tell you
anything about UT from experience.

Not sure how similar they really are, and it would be very difficult
to verify. How they print, how problem free they are, and how they
hold up is probably more important than how close they are chemically.
Issues like support and consistancy come into play as well when it
comes to prices. Relationships are an important part of these
decisions for me as well.
