hi, this is a case of paying your money and takes your choice,IN MY opinion,others may disagree,caldercraft have more choice,in the size of he gratings,prices are similar here in the uk. c.c. go down to 1mm.spacing,and up to 3mm.hope this helps. http://www.cornwallmodel.../artesania-grating.html
having just checked, a.l. also go down to 1mm. http://www.cornwallmodel...log/amati_gratings.html

My opinion and experience, is that the Caldercraft/Jotika Gratings are a better product. The wood is better and the depth and width of the slotting is very consistent. This produces, when assembled, a neater and better looking Grating. This also makes them easier to assemble.

I'd agree with Andy, I,ve always found the the Caldercraft better quality and on both my SF2 and Endeavour I replaced the kit gratings with Caldercraft equivalents.
