Help with Omega #s?

[scottb]

Hey all--can anyone help me understand the differences between the Omega 81056, aka the 31056, and the 31064 that I know many B+B folks love?

Is there a noticeable difference in quality? I'm asking because I found the 81056 on sale, but don't want to jump if it's noticeably inferior, and don't want to get both if they're basically the same brush.

Thx as always

I haven't used the 31056 ,but I've used the 31064 ,it's a beautiful brush and costs about 10 $ more then the 56 . Whether the cost is in the handle or knot, I'm not sure ! Hope that helps .

The handle on the 31064 is acrylic and heavy; the 31056 looks more like plastic to me, but I don't own one. I do own a 31064, and it's a nice solid acrylic handle.

As mentioned, the 81056 is going to have a light, plastic handle and also and smaller knot/shorter loft. Not sure if the actual hair is any different.
