Cable "experts", advice needed

Can you go to the two links provided and tell who, IYO, has the better design? http://marc.stager.com/silver/ http://www.homegrownaudio.com/sss.htm One apears to have more strands than the other, different connectors are used, etc. I am interested in XLR conectors, Marc lists them on his page and pricing, Home Grown mentions them on their FAQ page; I can't tell if I would have to connect them. Marc uses Switchcraft A3F/M, Home Grown mentions Neutrik. I may be interested in a set of RCA's in the future. They both have "sane" prices. Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I know only a little about Homegrown, but what I know would lead me to avoid them. Why not at least have a look at the Stealth cables viewable at www.interlinkhouse.com. These are at "sane" prices too, and designed with real expertise, and I would be very, very surprised if they're not worlds better than either Homegrown or Marc's. They come with a 30-day money-back guarantee, you pay only for shipping, so trying them would not be a major risk.

Tom_nice, what in particular do you know about HomeGrown would cause you to avoid them? I am a big fan of theirs, but am an objective person. So, I am interested in all sides. I think they make a great product, are very responsive, and may serve as a watershed company(in helping to spur other reasonably priced wire companies). I would never claim they make the best wire, but I would never claim that of ANY company. Some wire will work great in my system and lousy in your, and vice versa.
