Best lace-up boxing gloves

A good lace-up glove starts with your hand

A glove can look beautiful and still fit poorly. Your fingers don’t sit comfortably around the grip, the thumb is pulled outward, or you have to tighten the laces excessively to prevent movement at the wrist. Conversely, a less eye-catching design may offer exactly the hand shape and support you’re looking for. That’s the difference that matters in this buying guide.

Laces aren’t decorative. They let you tighten the closure at different points, so you can fine-tune the fit around the wrist and cuff. But a closure can’t fix a finger compartment that’s the wrong length or an uncomfortable thumb position. Fit, adjustability, and protection all need to work together.

We compare five training models based on our own assessment. We also discuss Winning and Di Nardo as exclusive options outside the rankings. Different colors of the same model aren’t given separate scores. The product cards let you choose the version and weight; below, we first explain what sets each model apart.

Our assessment: product knowledge and customer experiences

We assess these gloves on fit and adjustment, protection, and build quality. Each category receives up to 10 points and carries equal weight, for a total of up to 30 points. This keeps the comparison focused on the glove itself: how it fits around your hand, how its construction supports your training, and how well it is made.

Our assessment also takes into account the people who train in these gloves. We combine our knowledge of the models and their construction with customer experiences from Loox. Feedback about comfort, how the fist closes, the firmness of the padding, or a finishing detail can help make your choice more concrete. That’s why we also include critical comments in otherwise positive reviews.

Our scores reflect our qualitative assessment; they are not an average of customer star ratings or a measured protection rating. A 9 for protection does not mean that a glove absorbs a set percentage more impact than a model rated 8. Customer averages remain visible separately, so you can compare our assessment with buyers’ experiences.

Colors, the number of available weights, and price do not earn quality points. A model isn’t better because it comes in purple or green, and a limited color selection doesn’t make its construction worse. The available options and price help you make your purchase, but they don’t determine these three scores.

Fit and adjustment: fingers, thumb, fist and wrist closure

Fit starts in the hand compartment. Its length and width should accommodate your hand with the handwraps you use, without your hand swimming inside. You want a snug fit around the knuckles, but no pressure that feels uncomfortable even during a relaxed try-on. That’s why asking only whether the laces can be closed is too limited.

Your fingers should be able to bend comfortably and close into a fist. Pay attention to where your fingertips land, how your fingers sit around the grip, and whether the shape helps you make a fist. You don’t want to keep forcing your hand closed against the glove. A compact appearance alone doesn’t tell you whether the finger compartment fits your hand.

The thumb position matters too. Your thumb should rest naturally with your hand, without uncomfortable tension at its base or being pulled outward. The placement, shape and connection of the thumb compartment matter more than the promise that a glove is ergonomic for every hand. A thumb connection also doesn’t make up for an uncomfortable thumb shape.

Next, look at the cuff and adjustment: where the glove closes around your wrist, how much room is left, and how the lace routing distributes tension. Can you tighten a loose spot without constricting another area? Small adjustments should help you refine the fit. That’s what we mean by precise adjustment, not just pulling the laces as tight as possible.

Here, we assess the fit; the support provided by the closed construction belongs under protection. This way, we don’t reward the same feature twice. Try them on with your own stretch boxing wraps and check both your open hand and closed fist. A well-fitting cuff doesn’t necessarily mean your fingers and thumb fit well too.

Protection: for your hands and wrists, with your partner in mind

Protection is more than a thick layer over the knuckles. We look at the construction and distribution of the padding, how the hand fits, and the support around the wrist and cuff. The overall design must suit the intended use of the glove. A hand that moves around inside a sturdy exterior is not a convincing combination.

For your hand, it comes down to the padding around the striking area and how your hand sits inside the glove. For your wrist, the shape, length, and reinforcement of the cuff all matter, along with the lace construction that keeps everything in place. A stiff shaft, a thick wrist edge, and a tight lace are not automatically the same as good support. They need to work with your wrist position.

When sparring, your sparring partner matters too. What feels firm and secure to your hand can still feel hard on the outside. That is why we discuss not only hand protection, but also the type of padding and whether it is suitable for partner work. More firmness does not automatically mean better quality, just as a soft first impression alone does not prove how much a glove absorbs impact.

Loose lace ends, a poorly tucked-away knot, or damaged outer material are also part of this practical check. The glove should be properly closed and in good condition for training. Customer comments about a firm first impression are useful; the number of break-in sessions mentioned by one buyer is not a fixed usage recommendation for every new pair.

The protection rating sums up this balance. It is no guarantee against injuries and no invitation to spar harder. The condition of the specific pair, the correct fit, and actual use remain important, even for the highest-rated glove.

Build quality: the material and how everything is put together

Leather or microfiber is a choice of material, not a final verdict. A well-constructed microfiber glove can score highly; a leather exterior does not automatically earn an extra point. When assessing build quality, we look at the combination of outer material, lining, stitching, and the way the different parts are finished.

Consider the stitching around the thumb, the connection between the hand section and cuff, the finish along the palm, and how the lace holes are secured. Inside, too, you don't want uncomfortable seams or a lining that gets in the way of your hand position. It isn't just about what you can see in a product photo of the exterior.

The lacing construction relates to all three criteria, but raises a different question for each. For fit, it is about how precisely you can adjust it. For protection, it is about the support provided by the closed glove. For build quality, it is about how that construction is made and finished. This distinction prevents a well-known name for a lacing system from automatically receiving the same compliment three times.

Customer experiences help make that finish more concrete. A buyer can be very satisfied and still mention an irregularity around the thumb. We take such a comment seriously without turning a single response into a general manufacturing defect. Conversely, an enthusiastic expectation about lifespan is not yet established proof of the durability of every pair.

What Loox adds to this comparison

The customer tables show reviews through October 15, 2026. Each review is counted once for the actual model and closure type. We don’t carry Velcro reviews over to the lace-up version. The Guerrero SF-H and HDE-F also retain their own reviews, since their padding differs.

We look beyond the star rating. A review about a comfortable fist, wrist support, or padding that feels firm is more relevant to this choice than a compliment about shipping alone. A five-star review can also include a useful point to consider. That’s why both positive and critical experiences feature in the model reviews.

The tables show the full star distribution, even when a review is mainly about service or contains little text. Quotes remain verbatim, with the original language and spelling. We attribute a personal sense of protection, a comparison with a previous pair, or a comment about breaking them in to the buyer who shared it. This way, our assessment and customer insights complement each other without presenting them as the same measurement.

Five lace-up gloves for training and sparring

The RS100 ranks first, followed by the Guerrero SF-H. Cleto Reyes and the Guerrero HDE-F share third place; the RS1 Ultra 2.0 follows with its own tapered fit. This ranking is based on the three quality scores, not on price, colors, or the number of available weights.

The matching overall scores for Cleto and the HDE-F are instructive: the same total can lead to a different choice. So also consider the individual scores, the padding, and customer feedback. Below are the five models in score order, along with their individual construction and key considerations.

The Rival RS100 Pro Sparring is our top choice because it scores highly in all three areas: 9 for fit and adjustability, 9 for protection, and 9 for build quality. It’s not a one-off standout that has to make up for a weaker category, but a well-balanced 27/30. That’s a more meaningful reason to choose it than the range of colors.

The True-Fist construction shapes the hand compartment; the Angled Lace Track determines the angled lacing around the cuff. Together, these are the specific details you’ll want to feel when trying them on: how your fingers close into a fist, where your thumb sits, and whether you can fine-tune the fit around your wrist without squeezing the entire shaft tight. Laces let you adjust the fit, not change the basic shape of the thumb compartment.

The RS100 has multilayer foam padding and a microfiber outer shell. Its 9 for protection refers to the glove as a whole, not just how much foam you can see over your knuckles. The 9 for build quality also shows why we don’t automatically rate leather higher: this model doesn’t need a leather outer shell to come out on top in this comparison.

Customer reviews support this overall picture. Marc W. says his pair felt comfortable right away. Gunther K. praises the finish, while Paul appreciates the compact shape and balance after finding a Guerrero less suitable. Comments like these show why the most expensive line or best-known name isn’t automatically the best fit for you. Remarks about wrist support are personal experiences, too, not the results of an impact test.

Choose the RS100 if you’re looking for a highly rated all-around lace-up option for sparring. The SF-H is the alternative if you specifically want the leather Guerrero with foam and horsehair. The RS1 2.0 is worth trying on if its narrower cuff appeals to you. Ultimately, the number one choice also needs to be the right number one for your hand.

The 24 customer reviews consist of 23 five-star reviews and one four-star review. Alongside product experiences, they also include comments about service. The literal quotes below concern workmanship and comfort; the customer average is not a measured protection rating.

27 / 30

27 out of 30 points. Our top choice, scoring 9 in all three categories.

The Rival RFX Guerrero Sparring SF-H comes in second with 9 for fit and adjustment, 9 for protection, and 8 for build quality: 26/30. It shares the first two scores with the RS100. So the difference in the total score comes down to build quality, not a bonus for leather or the number of colors the glove is available in.

The SF-H combines a cowhide exterior with foam and padded horsehair. This version also features low-density foam lamination. That makes it a different option in terms of construction from the HDE-F with its EVA foam build. The Guerrero name alone is not enough to treat the two as the same glove.

For fit and adjustment, consider the whole path from fingers to cuff: the closed fist, thumb position, and how the lacing construction fits around your wrist. A leather exterior does not change the basic rule: a suitable hand shape comes before extra-tight lacing. The 9 is our rating of the model as a whole, not a separate measurement of the laces alone.

The 9 for protection puts the SF-H alongside the RS100 in this guide. That is not a general claim that horsehair offers more protection than every foam construction. The build, fit, and intended use should be considered together. This is the Sparring version, not the lightweight Guerrero Pro Fight competition glove.

In the only Loox review from a verified customer, Reginio G. describes great comfort and a strong sense of protection. That is useful confirmation from a satisfied customer, but one response is still just one response. We do not pad the review count with HDE-F reviews to give the SF-H more support.

Choose the SF-H if you specifically want the leather Guerrero with this foam-and-horsehair construction and it fits comfortably. Our scores make it the highest-rated leather model of the five. The RS100 remains the overall number one; the HDE-F is the one to try alongside it if you want the other, firmer foam construction.

One of Reginio G.'s own five-star reviews about comfort and perceived protection. Reviews of the HDE-F do not count here. The personal 10/10 in the quote is his wording, not a fourth quality score in our assessment.

26 / 30

26 out of 30 points. Second place with a 9 for fit and protection, and an 8 for build quality.

The Cleto Reyes Training with laces is tied for third place with 9 for fit and adjustability, 7 for protection, and 9 for build quality. Its total is 25/30. What’s interesting about this breakdown is that high ratings for fit and construction don’t automatically mean the same score for protection.

This model combines a leather exterior, latex foam padding, and a classic lace-up closure. The laces let you distribute the tension across the cuff. When trying them on, the fit of the fingers, thumb, and fist position matters—not just how tightly you can lace them around your wrist. The 9 for fit and adjustability is a high overall rating, not a promise that everyone will find the same amount of room inside comfortable.

The 7 for protection is an important part of the buying advice. If you give protection ratings significant weight in this comparison, the RS100 and SF-H score 9, while the HDE-F scores 8. We won’t gloss over that difference because of Cleto’s reputation as a puncher’s glove. A direct-contact feel, a well-known name, and a beautiful leather finish don’t automatically answer the question of what’s best for your hands and your sparring partner.

For build quality, Cleto scores 9, matching the RS100 and outperforming the two Guerrero models in this review. So we’re not placing it alongside the HDE-F because the two gloves are supposedly the same. Their strengths differ: Cleto has the higher build quality score; the HDE-F has the higher protection score.

The Loox profile has a limited base of five reviews. The four-star review from an anonymous customer mentions a comfortable fit after a first training session. Other reviews are brief or also concern customer service. They form part of the overall customer picture, but don’t provide extensive support for a general claim about the padding or lifespan of every pair.

Choose Cleto Reyes if you like the classic leather training glove and its fit. Compare it with the HDE-F when choosing between the two models tied for third place. Not to invent another winner, but to decide which difference matters more to you: the higher build quality score or the higher protection score.

Five personal reviews: three five-star ratings and two four-star ratings. The text below describes a first training session and a comfortable fit. The other brief reviews don’t provide enough detail to draw general conclusions about protection or durability.

25 / 30

25 out of 30 points. Tied for third: 9 for fit, 7 for protection and 9 for build quality.

The Rival RFX Guerrero Sparring HDE-F shares third place with Cleto Reyes: 9 for fit and adjustment, 8 for protection, and 8 for build quality, for a total of 25/30. The same total here emphatically does not mean the scores are distributed the same way. Compared with Cleto, the HDE-F gets one more point for protection and one fewer for build quality.

The specific difference from the SF-H lies in its layered foam padding with high-density EVA. The HDE-F therefore has a more robustly constructed padding system, alongside its cowhide exterior and lace-up closure. We rate the fit highly, with a 9 for fit and adjustment; the protection score remains an 8. A firmer feel alone does not automatically earn a higher score.

Customer experiences genuinely add something here. Nathan speaks positively about the fit and leather quality, but also describes the initial firmness and a break-in period. Braydon is also happy with the comfort and shape, while discussing the initial firmness from his sparring partner’s perspective. These are useful points to consider when judging how a new pair feels on both sides of a punch.

Their feedback is not a recipe for breaking in new sparring gloves with a set number of rounds on the punching bag. Nathan’s expectation that firmer padding could last longer is also not the same as proven longer durability. The experience can help you ask a specific question about the pair you try on; it does not replace care or usage advice.

Not every buyer emphasizes the same things. Dennis S. names the HDE-F alongside Winning as a favorite, while other reviews are much shorter. All ten individual reviews give it five stars, but their content offers more nuance than the average alone. That is why we also include comments about its firm feel alongside those positive ratings.

Choose the HDE-F if you’re looking for the leather Guerrero with this EVA foam construction. If you’re deciding between the SF-H and HDE-F, consider their different padding and the customer experiences, not just their appearance. If you’re primarily looking for our highest protection rating, the RS100 and SF-H rank above this model.

Ten reviews of our own, all five stars. Alongside their enthusiasm, the comments also mention the firm padding. Below are the experiences of Nathan, Dennis S. and Braydon. Expectations about durability and the stated number of break-in rounds remain personal opinions of those buyers.

25 / 30

25 out of 30 points. Tied for third: 9 for fit, 8 for protection, and 8 for build quality.

The Rival RS1 Ultra 2.0 scores 8 for fit and adjustment, 8 for protection, and 7 for build quality: 23/30 overall. That puts it below the other four models, but it does have a clear reason to try it on. The Conic Design with a narrower cuff is especially worth considering if you’re looking for a closer fit around the wrist.

A narrower-fitting cuff and the hand compartment are two different things. So check not only whether the RS1 closes neatly around your wrist, but also where your fingertips sit, how easily you can make a fist, and where the thumb falls. The Angled Ergo Lace Track uses angled lacing to adjust the fit. That feature works best when the glove’s basic shape already suits your hand.

It combines a microfiber outer and multi-layer foam padding. With scores of 8 in both categories, we rate the fit and protection highly; the 7 for build quality is the lower score among these three ratings. That doesn’t mean microfiber is an inferior material: the RS100 also uses microfiber and scores 9 for build quality. The rating is for the model as a whole.

This is exactly where Loox reviews are valuable when weighing your options. Mark B. describes the comfort and supportive feel around the wrist; Lucas is positive about the fit and lace adjustment. Daanish, on the other hand, gives it three stars and writes that his pair doesn’t fit comfortably and feels too heavy near the wrist. Those are different hands and experiences, and there’s no reason to leave either side out.

Ashesh gives it five stars, but also mentions an inconsistency in the finish around the stitched thumb area. That comment is relevant when assessing build quality, even though the buyer is otherwise enthusiastic. One review doesn’t prove there’s a recurring issue, and the microfiber outer doesn’t become leather just because the reviewer uses that word.

Choose the RS1 2.0 if its tapered cuff and hand shape suit you better. If you want to try the highest-rated all-around option first, start with the RS100. When trying on the RS1, I’d pay particular attention to the fit, how the weight is distributed for you, and the finish around the thumb.

Twelve customer reviews: ten five-star ratings, one four-star rating, and one three-star rating. Below are a positive experience, Daanish’s critical comment about the fit, and Ashesh’s remark about the finish around the thumb. Ashesh gives it five stars; even with that rating, his concern remains clear.

23 / 30

23 out of 30 points. The tapered cuff is a deliberate fit choice; build quality gets a 7.

Winning: the exclusive category

Winning has its own place here, with a professional price tag and no score. It doesn’t receive an extra quality score just because it is a more exclusive purchase; instead, it’s a separate model choice for those specifically looking for these Japanese gloves. With Winning, the distinction between training and competition remains essential.

The MS400/MS500/MS600 training group is not a series of three progressively higher quality levels. The 10 oz MS300 is also a separate competition model. We therefore discuss them separately and keep both out of the five scored training options.

The Winning training line here consists of one model group in three weights: MS400 is 12 oz, MS500 is 14 oz, and MS600 is 16 oz. In the webshop, those weights may appear together as variants under an MS600 product. So the model name on the product page does not always tell the whole story; the selected variant determines which weight you are buying.

This is the exclusive top-tier range, with a professional price tag. You choose Winning deliberately, not because a high price automatically earns a higher place in our comparison. The leather exterior, foam padding, and classic lace-up closure form the basis of this training line. We do not award it points in this guide.

The questions to ask when trying them on remain the same. How do the fingertips fit, where does the hand close around the grip, and does the thumb position feel comfortable? Can you fine-tune the lace tension around the wrist without it becoming restrictive? An exclusive purchase makes a personal fit more important, not less necessary.

The two in-house Loox reviews for these lace-up training products are both five stars, but provide little detailed product experience. One review mainly mentions service and products together. We will not infer an extensive account of measured protection or durability from that, or borrow experiences from Winning hook-and-loop models.

Choose this group for training, then decide on the right weight and version. MS400, MS500, and MS600 are not three medal positions. The MS300 below serves a different purpose and is not implicitly counted as the lighter training alternative.

The upload contains two of your own reviews of these lace-up training products, both rated five stars. The comments are brief and also touch on service. Reviews of Winning hook-and-loop models or other equipment do not count here.

In this guide, the Winning MS300 is the 10 oz competition model. It’s a different choice from the MS400/MS500/MS600 training range. You don’t choose it as a sparring alternative just because it’s lighter or because you’d like to wear Winning.

This version also falls into the exclusive top tier, with a professional price tag and no review ratings. The leather exterior and classic lace-up closure are specific features; its competition role is the key difference to keep in mind when buying.

For this focused choice, hand space, fist position, thumb placement, and how precisely the gloves can be adjusted all matter. The lower oz rating doesn’t automatically tell you how the interior will fit your hand. The permitted model and weight must also be suitable for the competition you want to use the glove in.

For these MS300 products, the Loox version used contains no customer review of its own. That’s why you won’t see a customer average carried over from the training range. For a training pair in 12, 14, or 16 oz, compare the previous Winning range; for this specific competition choice, consider the MS300 for its intended use.

The review sheet used for the MS300 contains no review of its own. We therefore don’t show borrowed Winning stars or a quote from the training line.

Di Nardo Worldwide: exclusive Italian craftsmanship

Di Nardo stands alongside Winning in the top tier with a professional price tag. We discuss the Worldwide line for its distinctive craftsmanship, materials, and execution, not as a sixth contender that should rank at the top based solely on exclusivity. No ranking or quality score belongs here.

Di Nardo Worldwide is a deliberate choice for Italian craftsmanship, cowhide leather and a traditional lace-up closure. La Fiamma, La Bestia, Viola Furia, Impattatore, Supremo and Pelle di Leone are versions within this line. They are not six different technical winners, and we do not rate one colorway higher than another.

The Worldwide line is not scored in this guide. Its premium price tag is part of the decision to buy this particular product, not a calculation that turns the price into extra protection points. We discuss this line’s training padding without attributing features of other Di Nardo versions to it.

With a handmade pair, the specific item deserves attention. Check the finish and try them on with your usual handwraps: how do your fingers sit, how does your fist close, where does your thumb fall, and how easily can you adjust the cuff around your wrist? The brand’s story is interesting, but it cannot make up for an uncomfortable fit.

The version you choose partly determines which weight option you look at. The names and colors make the line recognizable; for your own use, start with your preferred weight and hand shape. The product cards keep the individual versions together without assigning them separate places in a ranking.

There are no dedicated Loox reviews for these Worldwide products in the current version. We do not fill that gap with feedback about another Di Nardo line. If you want to compare this craftsmanship for yourself, you can view and try on the pair in our showroom in Waddinxveen.

For these Worldwide products, the review status as of October 15, 2026 includes no reviews of their own. Therefore, this review has no customer average and no borrowed quote.

From a high score to the pair that fits you

A ranking narrows down your comparison list, but you make the final choice with the pair on your hands. Put on the gloves with the stretch boxing wraps you use during training. Let your fingers settle into place, gently close your fist, then check the thumb and the fit around the wrist. Don’t tighten the laces all the way right away to hide an incorrect fit inside.

Then make small adjustments to the lacing. Check whether the tension feels evenly distributed and whether your fist still closes just as comfortably after adjustment. The right fit feels secure without creating a pressure point. The goal isn’t the tightest glove in the showroom, but the pair that suits your hand shape and how you use it.

Oz refers to weight, not a universal hand size. Two gloves with the same oz rating can fit differently around the fingers, knuckles, and thumb. Choose the right training weight and compare the interior shape within that weight. Having more weights available earns no bonus points in this guide; a model that fits you matters more than a longer list of options.

Adjust the laces and put them on yourself with a converter

The strength of a lace-up closure lies in the targeted distribution of tension. You work along several lace points and can fine-tune the fit around the cuff. This takes more attention than simply pressing a strap closed, but it also lets you treat a loose spot differently from an area that already fits well. The exact lacing pattern varies by model.

Lacing up two gloves completely by yourself is less straightforward, especially when one hand is already inside a closed glove. A King Pro Lace-m-up lace converter is a separate accessory that attaches the lace ends to a different closure. This can make putting the gloves on and taking them off by yourself more practical. Marc W. also mentions this convenience in his RS100 review.

A converter does not change the glove’s basic shape or padding. The quality of the original hand construction and lacing pattern therefore remains relevant. Check the attachment and tension, and tuck away any loose ends carefully, also for the sake of your training partner.

The added convenience does not earn the glove separate quality points. It is a practical consideration in its own right. If you often switch between exercises, you may still find hook-and-loop more convenient; laces are not a requirement for serious training.

Protection only works when used correctly

We discuss the five highest-rated models as training and sparring gloves. If you also want to work intensively on the punching bag or pads, keep that role separate from the pair you choose for partner work. That way, your choice of sparring gloves stays focused on the condition, fit, and padding of that pair.

A sturdy glove is not automatically the most considerate choice for your partner. The HDE-F reviews show that buyers pay attention to this in practice. Take their experience into account when considering a new pair, but don’t treat a stated number of break-in rounds as a fixed recommendation. The model, condition, and usage instructions remain the deciding factors.

Also check the padding, outer material, thumb attachment, and closure over time. A higher overall rating on the day of purchase is no excuse for continuing to use a worn-out pair. Assessing quality and treating your equipment and training partner with care go hand in hand, but they are not the same thing.

Maintenance: the closure and finish also deserve attention

Open the closure after training, take the gloves out of your bag and let them air naturally. Avoid direct heat. Pay attention not only to the large outer panels, but also to the lining, the stitching at the thumb, the connection to the cuff and the edges around the lace holes.

The RS100 and RS1 2.0 have a microfiber outer layer; Cleto Reyes, both Guerreros, Winning and Di Nardo are leather options. Follow the care advice for the material and model. More care product isn’t necessarily better, and a leather product isn’t automatically suitable for microfiber.

Check that the laces and lace holes are still in good condition before tightening them further. Tightening the laces harder won’t fix a seam that’s coming undone or a damaged fastening. The very finishing details customers write about are a good reason to keep checking your own pair carefully.

Our final choice: quality over color and reputation

The Rival RS100 comes out on top with 27/30. Three nines make it our most well-rounded overall pick of these five. The Guerrero SF-H follows with 26/30: the same high ratings for fit and protection, with an 8 for build quality and a different leather, foam, and horsehair construction.

Cleto Reyes and the Guerrero HDE-F share third place with 25/30. Their different scores help you choose. Cleto gets a 9 for build quality and a 7 for protection; the HDE-F gets an 8 in both categories. We won’t invent a winner between models with the same total score. The RS1 Ultra 2.0 follows with 23/30, but its tapered cuff may still be exactly the fit you’re looking for.

Customer experiences add a practical angle to the comparison: comfort and finish on the RS100, differing fit experiences with the RS1, and the solid feel of the HDE-F. These stories aren’t tacked on at the end; they help put the scores into perspective. They make the choice more personal without mixing up customer ratings and our scores.

Winning and Di Nardo remain in an exclusive class of their own, with a professional price tag. No scores and no hidden fourth criterion for exclusivity. First choose the intended use and the right model, then consider the construction and price. The final tables keep the five rated models separate from the three unrated model groups.
