Flexlite versus Recoil guides

I assume the differences between these are the Flexlite are stiff and probably staineless steel versus Recoils are a nickel-titanium memory wire? Thanks.

I have used both, and I will only use the FLEXLITES. They are very durable, cost effective, and have not grooved on me in 3 years of hard core fishing with a float rod.

The flexlites guides are the standard guide on all of my customers float rods. Oh, I have only used the TiCh coated guides, not the others. They may not be quite as lite as the REC's, but the difference is not noticable on rods up to 15'.
