I got a couple free after a long backorder. I like them. Not sure they are worth the price diff though. They are boltsnaps.
 
They are great. The only negative is that the snap hook diameter is a tad too small so it is possible to get them tightly jammed when clipped into my rebreather frame. With oc where you only clip to D rings they are fantastic. In Europe the price difference is smaller.
 
Handy replacement for small boltsnaps with fiddley gates. I use one for my primary clip-off which is much easier to thumb with thick gloves. I haven't bothered switching out the larger 1" snaps on my SPG or stages as these are pretty straightforward forward by vertue of size.

With blue gloves and wool liners, I can't imagine a need, or a desire, to insert my finger into a bolt snap.
 
Do they have a tendency to "cut" drygloves like some of the others do? I noticed the thumbs of drygloves tend to wear out rather quickly from clipping/clipping
 
Not so much. They work smoothly and finishing is good. Also the design probably helps.
