There aren't that many great alternatives unfortunately. I can't think of any other compression fittings that look like the BP/EK ones in build quality and aesthetics. The EK ones plaster their logo all over them though which is a big negative for me.

This exactly.

I like the weight of the bitspowers though

I'm leaning toward barbs more nowadays as I think they look better

I used barbs on my old build and would rather use compressions for a change and in my opinion they look nicer (each their own).

I'll probably end up getting bitspower matte black ones just because the EK ones have the logo (which I hate) and there are few alternatives. I really do not think BP compressions are worth the money though, they just sort of have a monopoly.

I've got a few Koolance compressions, their excellent quality and I think look great too, plus there cheaper than BP fittings.

I have EK ones and from outside the window you cant see the logo, just nice looking fittings

Those red look damn sharp though, if only they went with my colours

Just bought 8 EK fittings, looked at BP but they're just so overpriced!

I have to say, EK ones look pathetic.

I think the best thing to do is use BP where you can see them, and EK where you can't
