Let's even the playing field. You're comparing a sling which isn't the same as our whoopie sling (see pics below). The transformer sling adjusts from 2' to 4', and the whoopie sling you're comparing it to adjusts from 2' to 9'. So let's change the comparison to our small ($10 less) whoopies sling, which still adjusts from 2' to 5'. Our whoopie sling is made by our in-house splicing professionals...I don't see any mention as to who manufactures the AS sling. The AS sling is has a "16,800 Rating". 16,800 what? Pounds, kilograms? Probably pounds, but what's the rating? Is that tensile strength or Safe Working Load? Probably a 16,800 lb tensile strength. So what's its SWL? Our sling has a 3,280 lb SWL, which I'd bet is more than the transformer slings. PLUS, our slings come with all that information on the sling itself. I can see no such labeling on the transformer sling. However, all these comparisons are pointless, if they aren't in fact the same type of sling (whoopie). I guess my point is that if you find the SAME product somewhere else, just make sure it is the SAME product. Below are pictures of the two slings. Are they the same?
