Default Fuchs vs Beila props?

I notice Fuchs props are a good bit more expensive (40% more on a 3 blade 26x12 I'm looking at) than similar Beila props (on the Aircraft International site)

Does anyone know why this is? Are Fuchs props qualitatively better than Beilas? If so, in what way?

I only have (objectively good) experience with Beilas. A search came up with a poster who said Fuchs were more efficient and quieter, but the post was several years old.

Thanks,
Jerry

The difference in price is simply pretty much because they charge more. Both Fuchs and Biela are very good propellers.

The fuchs are very quiet compared to the beila with out loss of power.

They are made in two different countries with different costs for labor and materials.
One is made in Germany and the other is made in Poland.

Happy Landings!
