Oralite 5600 vs. 5700

[MikePro]

what's the difference between Oralite 5700 & 5600? ...is it really worth the $+30% uptick on the latter?

5600 boasts for curved surfaces and rivots, but if my only vehicle reflectives are simple lettering then do I really need a "wrap-grade" reflective?
they're both cast vinyls correct?
white-points the same?

I can tell you that 5600 cuts, weeds, and applies better than 5700 for me at least, so that's what I have ordered for the last couple of years.

Never used the 5700 series. Mostly all 5600 here and 3M. Tried Nikkolite, but wasn't impressed with it. Too brittle while weeding for my likes.

5600 hands down, and now that they have come out with the RA version makes it even easier to use

5700 is a PITA

I got tricked into using that Nikkolite crap. Ended up having to redo a job or two because of the edges curling. 5600 is far superior.

Biggest difference is 5600 is inkjet printable while 5700 is not.
