Brand comparison
------
This guide shows you the difference between the major manufacturers.
There's 3 major manufacturers on PSU: GRM, Yohmei Corp and Tenora Works. There's also Kubara products, but it's simply a "common" manufacturer for items with unknown manufacturers.
The charts below shows a simplified version of the difference between the weapons and armours they make.

Armours
http://xs109.xs.to/xs109/06465/armrcomp.gif
Pretty much self-explaining.
There's a more "detailed" chart of weapons(no wands/rods) at the end of this post.
But then, it also happens to be so that not all manufacturers makes all weapons. Check out the chart below.
One dot means that the manufacturer makes weapons of that type. Two dots means that the manufacturer even makes 8* and maybe 9* weapons of that type.

And lastly, there's grinding.
GRM gains mostly from the first and last two(9,10) grinds.
Yohmei gains alot up to the fifth grind, the rest are'nt that good.
Tenora Works just gets better and better each grind.
Kubara stuff has pretty good average growth, but gains most from its second and last grind.
A few recommendations on where to stop grinding your weapons from the different manufacturers:
Numbers are just grinds.
GRM: 1, 4, or 10
Yohmei: 5
Tenora Works: 10
Kubara: 2, 7 or 10
There's also the look of the weapons.
It's actually up to your personal taste, but I'm sure that most of the people agree that Yohmei > the other manufacturers at looks.
Here's the more detailed comparison chart. Numbers may not be 100% accurate.
