Hi guys, thanks for all the responses!

 

After se digging, I found the same thread over in the SCTF archives http://www.larrybiggs.net/scwf/index.php?mod=103&action=0&id=1147961839

It seems like the list goes something like this from thickest to thinnest:

Shauer Artus - 5.2mm $490.

Another Timedesign (I think) - 5mm 400+ euros.

Omega Mesh - 4mm or slightly thicker, under $200 at O Frei.

Jurgens Monster Mesh - 4mm $185.

Stowa Milanaise - $145, unknown thickness.

Many in the 3 - 3.5mm range.

Found some on ebay at 22mm wide 2.8mm thick around $26.99 and a 20mm wide 3.4mm thick for $21.99!

I think I will go with the Omega, as I like the way the mesh links encompass the springbar instead of using a tube.  I like the look and it allows me to squeeze it into a 21mm Doxa lug :D  Plus in my opinion, it seems that the Omega has a coarser weave, more openess and therefore more texture than the German models which look to be "flattened" somewhat.  Maybe it is my imagination.

Thanks again for all your help!
