Default Diamondback Cables versus Chromite
Just ordered Carlini bars and am now debating between the diamondback and chromite cables. Can anyone shed some light on the major differences or preferences?

Chromite are far nicer. They look better and hold their color much longer. Not to mention they are less expensive. I can get them for you at a discount too.

The website for Magnum Sterling Chromite II states that they never discolor.

I've got the Diamond Backs. Got them on sale a few years back. So far so good and I am very happy with the way they are holding up.
