Swiss vs. Canadian Grafs

[Hacker10]

Anyone here have experience with Swiss made Grafs?

Just wondering if there is any difference between those and the Canadian made ones(build quality, fit, etc). Model wise there is similarities, Canada seems to have a much broader model lineup.

From what I've seen, Swiss GRAFs are a bit harder to get your hands on. I have a pair of Swiss G7s and a pair of Canadian 709s. They are both equally great. I hear that the quality control in Canada for GRAF has been a bit shaky, but no complaints so far.

From poking around it appears that one would have order Swiss versions from across the pond. Not that I'm doing that(although these are tasty looking; http://www.grafskates.com/541.0.html?&L=1).
