Vampires vs. Mudbugs

In 4wheeler land the Vampires and Mudbugs are basically equal in mud performance.
Which tire, the Vamp or Bug swims better?

Secondly , where is the cheapest place online you have found to get these?
Thanks
In this video my MaxIV was wearing 4 Vampires and a set of Swamp Fox Plus Tires. Lee's Argo was wearing six Mud Bugs. For water speed my fox plus Vampire combo was at lease twice as fast as the Mudbugs. In soft watery Mud I had the edge. In more difficult mud w/o water Lee beat up on me several times in the soft clay type mud where the mud Bugs cleaned out very well. If there is no water or soup Vampires will dig down quickly and get you stuck where a goodyear rawhide will push along slowly but keep your AATV moving, maybe slowly but moving. For swamp type conditions with soupy mud Vampires are hard to beat.
