Graphtec Holder for Roland Blades?

[SlamMan]

While looking for a replacement Graphtec blade holder I came across an aftermarket blade holder on eBay that would take Roland blades but fit in the Graphtec.

Is there any advantage to this? Are Roland blades cheaper or better?

I saw that item also and looked into the cost difference of the blades .... hardly any difference really. Considering how long a blade usually lasts I concluded it wasn't worth the cost of buying the adaptor. If you need a blade holder though I think that item is a bit cheaper than a graphtec one. Perhaps someone else has actually used one of these and has more info about them.
