Compared USPCC vs Cartamundi for my last 3 custom decks and the winner was obvious

I've been designing my own playing cards for a few years now and always went with USPCC since they're the standard. But for my last project I tried Cartamundi for a run of 500 decks and the difference in handling is night and day. The Cartamundi stock feels stiffer and the cards fan way smoother right out of the box. My old USPCC decks needed like 50 shuffles to break in before they felt good. Plus the registration on the back design was perfect on every single card from Cartamundi while I've had a few off-center cuts from USPCC before. Anyone else switched manufacturers and noticed a big difference in quality? I'm thinking about sticking with Cartamundi for my next run of 1000 decks but want to hear if others had the same experience.

Right, because smooth card fans are clearly the real crisis of our time.

Are you seriously going back and forth like it's a life or death decision? It's just cards at the end of the day, they all do the same thing. I've used both and sure Cartamundi feels a bit stiffer but USPCC decks work fine too, you're not performing surgery with them. The off-center thing is annoying, I'll give you that, but it's not like every single USPCC deck has it. Maybe you just got a bad batch last time.
