We recently bought 3 pairs of each size of the PB bells and it IS the same bell as the AKC, we got in with the cheap shipping, too, so it was quite a deal. I have used AKC for about a year and a half and notice no difference other than the painted horn. Have yet to strip those babies, but as far as high rep GS styled work and having a progression of weights that remain constant in size and handle diameter, these are the best money/quality we have seen yet.
