Default carbon fiber driveshaft - Pfadt vs LG's

What is the difference between the Pfadt and the LG carbon driveshafts other than LG's is $600 less expensive?

I already have Aaron's (Pfadt's) in my one car and have had no problems with 600+RWHP for 3 years now but was wondering about LG's as it is significantly less expensive.

Thanks in advance!

I've had LG's (ACPT) since 2005 at 440rwhp and 550rwhp and no problems. Numerous misshifts and tire locking to boot.

The big diff is the outer diameter from the look of things; both are made by great contractors.

What sets our Carbon Fiber driveshaft apart from other offerings are the use of proprietary flex disks to replace the rubber guibo. The Flex disks allow for misalignment of the driveshaft unlike billet mounts, while remaining torsionally stiff unlike a stock rubber or aftermarket poly guibo. This is an example of one of the many custom engineering solutions we developed for our Corvette Carbon Fiber Driveshaft.

We have these in a couple of our eight second drag cars and they hold up great to 1.2 second 60' times, and over 1000HP so far. Nothing against LG's, we make our own aluminum HD shaft also, but these have worked great for us.

The difference between the two ends up that the LG doesn't save you any weight. The Pfadt replaces the guibo and saves you about 4 pounds.
