Default UST tubing opinions?

anyone have any opinions on the ust tubing and clear rod? It is quite a bit cheaper. (although I already placed my order for a bunch of cases of simax) I have heard that it used to be crappy but is better quality now.
Couldnt find any opinions on the rod though.
Thanks!

The rod is about the same as the tube. Not great, but not junk either. For situations where you are only using a little bit of clear (like encasing a bead, or making a pendant) the UST is fine. When you make big marbles out of it, I don't think it's as "clear" as Simax.
