what's the differences other than a few bucks that aren't enough to make a difference ? does either install easier ? seal better ? last longer ? other differences ?
is there something better than them ? no laith here to make or resize them . looking for something that'll fit from the get-go .
thanks

Measure your tube or seal diameter. I think the Diana takes the Apex Small or the New Tesla II. I've never used a Vortek seal but I do appreciate the Maccari quality and speedy service.

I've got an Apex in a .177 Airhawk and a Tesla in a .22 Blackhawk. Due to the differences in caliber, I can't offer a direct comparison but I can't feel a difference. I bought one of each when replacing the seal in the Blackhawk just in case i didn't think it worked as well as the Apex had in the Airhawk.
Now I have a spare Apex on hand if either one goes out.
Never used a Vortek product so I can't comment on them but I've always been happy with ARH's products.

I've found the Vortek seals very well made and durable. Same with the ARH seals. Really haven't found much difference at all quality wise. ARH has a wider selection, Vortek is easier to find the one you need. The ARH seals for some models tend to be slightly oversized and need a light sizing to fit correctly.
