Hi Patrick I have a pearl on my allrounder, and a Nitto Tech Deluxe on my PX-10. I feel the finish is the same....superb and both stems are cold-forged. Only thing really missing is the Pearl logo.Clamp is a little different too and I believe the quill is shorter (150mm for Pearl vs 190mm for TD) Honestly , they're both absolutely elegant stems. If you can't find a suitable Pearl and it's a must-have I feel that they probably can still be found on online sites that do a lot of NJS Nitto, MKS volume.
