That are both good gel companies... I go with Lee gels more in concert applications then Rosco. I love using Rosco in the theater.

At my high school's theater we only have Rosco gels. I don't really know why that is, but it is.

Which is better? Coke or Pepsi? They're both excellent manufacturers, and they both work fine. Lee sometimes has a better color, sometimes Rosco does, and other days GAM does. I use whichever one looks right...

I don't believe you can buy direct unless you're a distributor...
