Basket Durability

Which would you consider to be the most durable basket, the Mach 5 or the DiscCatcher Pro? I'm wondering if the Mach 5's (which are my favorite) are really worth the extra money?

I find discraft chainstars to be the best permanent basket!!! That said I have a limited DG budget and opted for DISCatcher® Sport. Found it online with free shipping for $159.
* Galvanized and powder coated construction
* 18 chain assembly identical to Pro model-----catches quite well
* Light at only 40 pounds- can easily move around my backyard, take down to the basement during the winter.
* Collapses to 6 pieces
* Great for backyard practice and temporary holes
this was the best basket for my purposes.....if you are looking for a basket that can be left outside in the elements I would go with a Chainstar!

The Chainstar is the best basket.... I got one from Marshall Street for a great price! It's two years old and still perfect.
