    It boils down to what the price is.
    Remington is pretty high on the PE.

    Remington has free shipping. Last time I bought 42 PE it was cheaper from them than from MWS.
    MWS has been really poor lately about returning emails, so Remington gets my bidneth......

      I've used mws wire but it was all over the place in diameter, slightly thicker in general.

        They are a great place to buy Poly wire.
        Unless you are making replica pickups, I would use Poly not PE.
        Poly solders easily, it is easier to see, and is much cheaper.
        Whether Poly and PE sound different is debatable.
        Wire OD, and Ohms per foot is the main determining factor, IME.
        I save my high dollar PE for rewinds and cork sniffers, and charge accordingly.

        Remington has free shipping. For me on the east coast, that makes them cheaper than MWS.

          My post, that has been quoted as of late, was made 6 years ago, and things change.
          At that time Remington was pretty high on the PE, and MWS was cheaper then.
          All magnet wire is expensive these days.
