How to compare different formats
Begin with the units. A flower percentage, cartridge capacity and edible milligram amount describe different things. Then compare the package quantity, required hardware, serving information and current price for the selected option.
Format choice is a practical decision about the product type and listing details. It should not be reduced to whichever page shows the largest potency number.
