I have the Eduard set for the Faun, and Im glad I got it. Don't know when I'll get around to actually USING it, but at least I know it's there :)
The only PE sets I've ever gotten were from Eduard, and they've been spectacular. No complaints here :)

I've heard good things about Voyager PE sets, but have not heard anything regarding the Leopard set though.

Eduard has this new trend of replacing kit parts or molded on detail with PE parts that are not as good as the kit part. Check references before cutting or sanding off detail. You may find the part you just destoyed was better than the Eduard PE part.

I can attest to that. Some of their PE for the early Panther A turned out to be completely inaccurate for that particular vehicle, which is not exactly the result you are hoping for when you go to the trouble and expense of using PE. Some other PE parts, while accurate, were much too thin to scale. Use with care.
