DefaultMulticam Tru-Spec OR Propper?

I'm not sure if this goes here as I couldn't find a load-out section in this forum but I just possibly overlooked it. Anyway,
The other day I ordered a set of Propper uniform pants and top in the licensed multicam pattern only to get a e-mail today stating that it was actually out of stock and that they had refunded my credit card.

My question is,the more I read,the more Tru-spec looks like the way to go without killing my bank account on Crye-precision ones.
I have read that the Tru-spec ones are more tan and that Propper is more green even though they are both licensed versions of the same multicam. Anyone know this to be true? How is the workmanship of these two companies? Anyone know? I live in a green wooded area with open brown grass fields and have been using both Woodland and 3 color desert patterns and want to get one load-out that will work in both areas and after my order being canceled,I'm more confused as to which to pick than ever!.
Thanks for any help.

i have never used Propper so i can't comment on the quality of thier stuff but i've used a lot of TRU-Spec and i would say that as far as quality goes, they're very nice but i'm not over keen on the cut of thier uniforms... they tend to be a bit "generous" on their sizing and if like me you use a lot of stuff like vests, knee pads etc. there can be some uncomfortable folding around contact points...

the MultiCam pattern uses a gradient effect (green to brown (cyote) and vice versa) as well as a solid colour pattern the gradient effect can cover small areas and quite large (6-8 inch) so depending on where the fabric is cut, the green to brown ratio will differ and over distance, will make the general hue appear greener or browner the effect is also compounded by the environment, if it is in a greener environment, the brown in the pattern will contrast and therefore dominate and cause the pattern to stand out.

i would say use MultiCam if you play in an area that is very arid with lots of sand, dirt rock and drier parched vegataion. if you play in a greener but still "multi environment" i would recommend the "Pencott" design by Dominic Hyde:

He didn't blur it, the site he got it from has it blurred. Probably an in service man testing it who's identity had to be kept secret.
