    Anyone know?

    Shimano’s website shows the same weight for both chains, both have the sil-tec teflon coating, but the SLX is cheaper than the other? Very confused.

    601 only has the coating on the inner links, 701 on the outer links as well, or something like that.

    I prefer KMC!

    Agreed, will probably just get another KMC chain as always. :-D
