Default Effetre Avocado 210

Effetre Avocado 210- Anybody feel there is a significant advantage to ordering the handmade over the machine made? I've only ever had the handmade & I am tempted to order some machine made for the price difference...

I have both. There is a big difference in the reactive effects. Handpulled gives you a superior reaction with silver leaf. You get that beautiful river rock effect. Machine pulled still reacts, but the colour isn't the same, it's muddier and not as nice. If you're not using it for its reactive properties and just for the straight colour, they're roughly the same. Machine pulled can be slightly darker.
