Hey Shock welcome on board.
Now both of the named suits are good suits, now the question is do you want a one to one replica of a screen used suit, or do you want a sculpted suit made by a fan. Those are the differences between them. C.O.R.A. here aka Starbuck Cylon sell the replica, and Brian sculpted his suit that he sells (Hand-Schaub).

Screen used isn't that easy to find. Those don't pop up very much, and you need to have a fat wallet. Just out of curiosity what do you thing you can purchase a screen used set for or what is your budget?

Hi sorry.I meant that I want a helmet and armor casted of a screen used helmet and armor not that I want to buy a screen used costume.

Thanks for your help.

Krop, Hand S. and CORA are the main players for Cylon armor. As far as directly casted from a 1978 screen used suit, they are few and far between... no seller is around taking orders for kits based on screen armor. Finding them and cost won't be as hard/high as REAL screen used suits, but will cost quite a bit more than Krop, Hand S. and CORA.

Unfortunately the Centurion builder community is much smaller than others (like Star Wars/501st, etc.).

It will boil down to preference and budget. In my view CORA has the most 1978 "screen-ish" accurate armor currently. However, they are all well made and are great guys who quickly solve any issues.

A small side note... oddly... even though Krop's suits are not a 100% 1978 Centurion match to the costume they are based on... they themselves are screen used -as is- in SyFy's new BSG and in the Oscar winning Argo.

Sorry about my misunderstanding about screen used or screen accurate suits. CHeck out the members only section of the Cylon Stores. They have all the details there on both suits.
