I have the following two oversize stems in my garage, both are 100mm and -/+ 6 degree.

FSA OS-150 with the carbon effect frontplate.

Deda Zero 1 mirror finish black.

Havent fitted either as I was out this afternoon getting drenched on a run. Between these two manufacturers , is there one notably better than the other, or in real terms could I just blindfold myself and pick one and be none the worse off ?

    They are both similar quality but the Deda is lighter if that's important to you.

    Match with the bars and seat post if possible.

    This is the only worthwhile consideration
