best deal on resin?

Who has the best deal on scenery resin? I see it go for $80 a gallon and some places are $42 a gallon. Is there a difference in quality that would explain the huge price difference? I'm not comparing it to polyester lay up resin.

i have found if you are making it for the client get the expensive stuff, over time the cheaper one will slightly yellow if exposed to uv light. i have been using the crystal clear from smooth on with no problems ,just have to adjust your habitat prices accordingly.
