What's the difference between Wilkinson and Gotoh sealed tuners?

Is there a big difference in quality between these two brands?

well i bought a set of wilkinsons for a project jazz i'm doing now, they arrived last week and i was installing them today. they seemed hardly any different than the SX tuners i have laying around (which are pretty good btw), i think they may have a few less teeth on the gears, and the base plate is a little larger and more trapazoidal.. but whatever. i haven't gotten the chance to try them out with strings on them yet, but during install my main complaint would have to be the screws that were supplied with them. they're of the very weak, almost like pewter, metal, and strip and shear-off very easily (as i found out). i ended up having to throw half of them away and use the silver colored (as opposed to black) screws that i had lying around. we'll see how well they hold tune and what-not tomorrow when i finish this thing.
