Leon Paul France vs Uhlmann Ultra Blades

Has anyone had experience with these saber blades, and could therefor tell me which is most "agreeable" in general (agreeable being relative to build quality, flexebility, weight and cost effectiveness)?
Thnx

We use Leon Paul in the UK so I presume that they are good. I fight foil but wanted to do sabre.

Stiffness

To add to the question, which is stiffer (I like stiff blades...)?

or, ya know, ... British.

btw, before I get all sorts of responses, let me clarify that the above is, first of all, a joke, and, second of all, not intended to say they aren't good, just that their use in Britain isn't very compelling. After all, many American equipment companies sell (revised from "make" to "sell" to appease one specific person who insists on giving undue attention to symantics) equipment which is quite prevolent in the US, but not very good.

I haven't come across a blade stiffer than the Uhlmann Ultra.
They are hard and stiff and will break in 1 month guaranteed.
