anyone know which semi integrated headsets are better.I can get a Cane Creek Zero Stack 2 or an FSA Orbit zs-3 for around the same price.I heard FSA cartridge bearing have some play due to loose fitting in the bearing cups although the seals seem better than the Cane Creek one.

I have an FSA orbit. I'd get the Cane Creek.

I am guessing the bottom seal is better on the FSA orbit,easier to refit.But machined cups with the Cane Ceek with have tighter tolerances being cnc machined.

Tolerances were my issue with the Orbit, was murder to fit it, and there was a gap at the top between the cups and the top cap when I did.
