You may get what you pay for, but that doesn't mean paying more gets you more. Top quality Casein/Whey blends can be had for $10-$11/lb - a little less if you go light on the flavoring. I agree that the "Name Brands" can (it's subjective) taste better - but those flavorings take up protein real estate and you usually end up with less total protein by a couple grams (70cc Scoop) when all is said and done. PES Select during "Insider" sales is a definite buy - correctomundo.
