MTX is another company that has been around since the beginning and has a strong heritage of providing economically-priced products that perform well and are reliable.
The Thunder series is a good example of balance between performance and price. This series offers exactly what most people are looking for in performance with a look that is neither dated nor stodgy.
I pick the MTX Thunder Series at my top Best of the Rest list not only because of its performance and look, but because of its availability in the marketplace.
