Perhaps more so. I'm not saying it's better or worse. Just a whole lot different. To call it TXP Tri x at all is beyond me. What you call that:? Market Blurring? Random disinformation? apathetic name thinking upping? Mark Rabiner So it's not like "Well they're out of Regular Tri X so I'll get Tri X Professional!" might as well get Negrapan 400 from spain (if they had it!)
