Shengya's are NOT knockoffs of Vincent...they are/were OEM for them.
I was in Hong Kong a few years ago saw Shengya gear sold JUST to have Vincent announce their similar "new" equipment months later.
I don't know what's worse...chinese knock offs
OR
western companies buying Chinese gear, giving it a minor cosmetic/operational tweak, DOUBLING the retail price and calling it "their own creation".
At the end of the day, I'm gonna decide with my ears & pocket book.
