  Well,
  
  
  Maybe it's because the Englehard bars stack better and come in a cool plastic box?

  Englehard and J&M are equivalent as far as I'm concerned. I prefer the J&M old-style 100 ouncers myself.

  I heard they were making a French version of Medal of Honor. I wonder how many hotkeys it'll have for "surrender."

  Both are well known and reputable companies. I would make your buying decision on which bars are less expensive.

  I have to admit that I am biased from having worked at JM. The quality/purity of the silver is equivalent. The difference is mainly in the marketing of the product and format of the bars.

  The same reason Levi jeans cost more than Wrangler / Harley Davidson cost more than Honda
