Maybe its just me but Lons pots just seem a little heavier, more solid, I don't know if the glass is thicker or what...they just seem like they are a better built call. I have been disappointed with some other well known callmakers calls as of late that people are raving about...I do have quite a few pots an many of Lons...my go to is Lons zebrawood glass..just my opinion....i do like my platz,Roberts an Cornelius calls
