Ascension Peptides or Elite Peptides?

On our stars Ascension Peptides comes out ahead, 3.7 to 1.6. Ascension Peptides lets you open its certificates before you order; Elite Peptides does not, and for a first order that gap matters more than any price. Only Elite Peptides lists the reference vial, so we cannot call the price question. Ascension Peptides takes cards and Elite Peptides does not, which decides it for anyone who wants chargeback rights.
