Default comparison of carbon two steel wok, namely Joyce Chen versus Chefmate

I have two 14 in carbon steel wok and want/need to get rid of one. I
can't decide which one I should get rid of between

(1) Joyce Chen (http://tinyurl.com/2ffswg8)

and

(2) Chefmate (http://tinyurl.com/23456jd or
http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/chef...bon-steel-wok).

I bought the 2nd one for $6.99 at Ross when the first one - bought it
for $20 - was in need of sanding and reseasoning.

I get the impeession that the 1st one is better? What about you?

I bought Joyce Chen's a few years ago at Bed Bath and Beyond for
420.00. I don't remember using a coupon.

Just coincidence.

The one I was buying recently was a 12" wok and for my brother. I
probably wasted my money. Only time will tell.

I think Joyce Chen's work better (when I was using). So, I shiuld
sand it and use it and give away the other one which by the way I
bought because I saw a good price at ROSS and was too busy to sand the
Joyce Chen's one. One suggestion here was to use Oven Cleaner but a
friend of mine said (on the phone), "Don't". So now, I am going to
sand though I think it' be lots of work. I don't even know what to use
to sand it. Any tips?

I no longer can figure out when you are serious, so here's a tip. Don't
sand it. Heat it, add vegetable oil and salt, use the brush to scrub until
smooth. When it is smooth and cool enough, use wads of paper towels to
scub out the oil and salt. Never wash with water again.

So you don't understand that there is such a thing called accident,
like when I was washing out the a big amount of feldspur that I let it
sit in a big pot out ending up in the wok that was left in the other
compartments of the sink (the right side) to rinse out causing the
seasoning to get messed up while the water causing rust because I
didn't rinse that out right away as I got busy with something else?

I understand that not everybody has common sense that shit happens in
life and that one cannot possibly understand the detail circumstances
of somebody else's accident but let me tell you this: Don't bother
giving me tips if you cannot do it without insulting me. This goes for
all the below average intelligence like you.

For someone who asks for help and opinions ad infinitum/ad nauseam,
you sure are a snotty witch when someone takes the time to offer good
advice.
