I am considering buying a WinForm controls suite and have narrowed it down to Component Factory's Krypton Suite and DevComponent's DotNetBar. My question is: Are any of you familiar with both suites, and which would you recommend? DotNetBar looks like it has a few more components, but Krypton Suite looks like it may have a more professional look-and-feel. Any comments on these areas?

PS: I know that there are several other really good ones out there (DevExpress, Telerik, etc.), however these all cost a bit more than I'm willing to spend.

Thanks.

You can go for dotnetbar @ $270. Else go for devexpress @ $800. The difference between krypton and devexpress is $300. But in this 'extra' you get charting, reports, printing, olap .. etc. So I would suggest dotnetbar or devexpress.

Trial versions are available for all. You can check out demos for every component and decide.
