Default 3M Panel adhesive or SEM?

I just left one of the local auto body supply shops. Of course, since they sell SEM and NOT 3M they say SEM 39747 is the same as 3M 8115.
Any thoughts, ideas, experiences to share?
The 3M is only $10 more than the SEM per tube, but the shop will loan a gun, so that's quite an enticement.
I don't want to nit-pick over price, but then I also don't want to throw money away if SEM is just as good.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

I've used both and many other's with out a problem. SEM is an excellent product, so is 3M. It would all come down to convenience in your case.
