Thats what I thought...just wanted to make sure.

I guess I'll save myself a £14 then and wait a month while it arrives from Hong Kong!

Cheers

Both types are probably made out of recycled plastic milk cartons anyway so go for the cheapest.

I made my first one out of a plastic milk bottle and sticky tape, it worked...
Since bought an expensive (£5) one from China, took about a week to arrive.
 
Comparing 3 that I have (2 genuine and 1 from eBay), the 2 Sto-Fens are certainly thicker and do fit slightly better on the 430II heads. This is probably down to the increased rigidity and it may be that I was just unlucky with the one that I got off eBay. I paid £10 for my first one from Amazon, which I was ok with. Edit: actually seems to still be around the £9.99 mark fulfilled by Amazon. But once it starts approaching £17-£18 for what has been accurately described as not much more than recycled milk carton, I'd hesitate!

Well my Hong Kong Sto-Fen arrived yesterday, plastic looked a bit thinner than my last one. However it works well!! £1.19 well spent! :)
