My 16/3 has really tired sails (main, jib and genoa). What, who has the best price/quality?

After doing a lot of research I just ordered new sails for my CP27 from FX sails.
I would go with National Sails. Great product at a great price. I've had FX..Nationals are better quality and fit.
I have never owned sails made by either FX or National. Sails for my previous boats were made by Schurr, North, and Super sailmaker - all of whom built a great sail but more expensive. This time I thought I would try a less expensive sailmaker. I spoke to National and Fx and both seemed very knowledgable about the ComPac boats.
I selected FX based on 7oz material vs 6.5oz, 3 rows of stitching vs 2, aluminum headboard vs nylon, 5yr warranty vs ?, and made in the USA vs overseas. For this I paid an extra $167.
The sails I selected were the FX offshore compared to the National Coastal.
I'll find out how well they fit when I get them in a couple weeks.
The FX sails fit like a glove. They were delivered when promised and well made.
National worked for me.
