I was comparing prices and noticed a great disparity between Artwox and KA decks, with Artwox being, in general, half the price of KA for comparable decks. Is KA really that much better, or just overpriced with similar quality?

I have several of each, and the wood decks are very similar in quality in my opinion. KA will add a sheet of PE with some of there decks which would account for some of the price difference. Otherwise Artwox seems to be the better deal.
