Ultrarm vs Ergotron

I have purchased 2x Ultrarm Vision Monitor Arms. It serves my purpose quite well to support my 57 inch and 40 inch monitors. However, I havent seen many reviews of Ultrarm like other brands. I have seen many brands being discussed on Youtube but they always skip Ultrarm. The most discussed brand is Ergotron. However, even their HX model has less rated capacity than Ultrarm Vision.

The Ultrarm has great quality but I don't know if other brands like Ergotron offer better quality. I have never compared it against another brand physically so I cannot say for sure which is better.

Any thoughts?

Unless you’re constantly moving, the monitors, I I would just stick with the ultraarm. I’m pretty sure the Ergotrons, which are rated for the 57 inch, are very expensive. FWIW, I did have a defective Ultrarrm which was acknowledged by their team. To their credit they refunded me, and also sent me a free replacement, so the customer service was pretty good?

Yes, they are 3 times more expensive. Is there a quality difference in the build quality?

I never tried the Ergotron...I'm sure they are good, but I find the price hard to justify esp when I don't need to move the monitor once mounted. The Ultrarm is stable enough for my needs even when I'm using my standing desk at it's full height.
