Gold or platinum?

[mbkcoach]

Ok I got all diamond featherweight stuff now. What are the pros and con of the gold and platinum CPs and shins? What are the similarities and differences? I know a lot of guys on here have them or have both. Thanks. I have searched and read other threads already.

I have the platinum vest and shins since I got a great deal on them. The gold was more expensive and I didn't really see the need to shell out the extra money if I didn't need to. Didn't see enough differences protection wise to justify the cost. Never had any issues with the platinum and often don't feel a thing when hit with balls. Couldn't be happier with them. I'm currently umpiring LL to HS. My .02 ymmv :-)
