Default Rhino Liner vs. Line X

I am going to have a spray in bedliner placed in my rig in the next week or so and wanted some feedback on Rhino Liner vs. Line X. I can get the Rhino Liner for just under $500. The Line X dealer will do it for $550. I have seen both systems but don't see why the Line X would warrant the extra $50. I also want to get the lining up and over the bed lip and that will cost me another $50 with either company.

Which is better and why?

I had the Rhino Liner in my previous truck and though it worked, it was not that hard to rip pieces off when sliding heavy object into the bed.
I got Line X in my current truck and like it better. It's a much harder material and I have not ripped any chunks out of it even with heavy loads of bricks, railroad ties, etc.
Rhino is more of a rubber like material where Linex is (hmm dont know how to describe it)
I personally would give nods to the Line-x. They also seem to have a better warranty.

I have had the line x on my last 2 trucks I have neverused rhino. I really like the line x, it is so hard like the above post said. It sets up like concrete and I think it looks better over the rail, the rhino is a little soft on the rails I have seen a few small tears. But like I said I have not had a ton of exsperience with the rhino.I belive the warranty's are both lifetime>?

Rhino has changed it's way in the last few years.... to keep up with the competition. IMO, Line-X is the way to go. It's thicker than Rhino, has a better fade resistance and is more durable. Everyone has their preferrence though :-)

I'm getting ready to do Line-X in mine soon too. I have buddies with both, Line-X seems to hold up better.

I had Line-X in my last truck. I shoveled a ton of rock and mulch out of it with a gravel shovel. Never once nicked it and it wasn't for not trying ...

I have line-x and it was only 425 for the back with the bedrails too. I am always moving crap around and it is no worse for the wear, also I agree that it looks a bit better when installed.

all you need to do is look at my rocker panels after I hit that brick wall. . .the line-x was scuffed, but stayed intact. .for the most part.

I have dug shovels into my line-x, and many other pointy objects, has yet to tear.
