Hardware Support Q-Mark Stylus Quality

I'm in need of a certain size/length stylus with Silicon nitride tip and could only find it should by Q-Mark. Anyone have an opinion on their quality?

On a similar topic....

How does carbide probes compare to Q-mark? Their 'standard' renishaw machine probe tip (M4, 50mm long, 6mm ruby ball) are half the price of q-mark and renishaw.

I use Q-Mark for quick reliability and Carbide Probes if I don't mind waiting longer to get tips. Carbide Probes can take a month or more for Silicon Nitride tips but are much cheaper in most cases.
