Has anyone tried to compare this adapter with the ...

Has anyone tried to compare this adapter with the one from Kupo? (Kupo Baby Ball Head Adapter BH #KUKG014212). What is the plus and minus of this Matthews adapter - versus the one from Kupo?
Asked by: Jan
Both adapters are high quality. The Kupo has two threaded spots to tighten it down which could help if the stand you have has a notch in a place that does not line up with the Matthews.
