Jr. Gents

As most of you would already know that CSUSA has 2 differant Jr Gents. The one they have sold for years and there newer Apprentice line which is much cheaper. Has anyone made a comparison of the two? I am talking about the quality of the pens when finished. I like that pen a lot but like anyone else I don't want to over pay but I don't want junk. Can anyone even tell there is a differance in the two kits. Fatter thinner don't make any differance.
