So I'm looking into these glasses and I'm noticing some major price differences. Why is this? Is it just glass quality/maker, or is one really better than the other?

I imagine it's probably the company name as well as whether they are crystal or glass

So would crystal be better than glass?

A lot of people prefer the heavier weight of crystal and crystal is usually thinner which allows for more "hand warming" but personally I couldn't tell the difference between a red solo cup and fine China. It's kind of like the difference between a Ronson and a DuPont
