So I looked it up Tacco is still in business, not named Four Seasons. Do the guy just shot from the hip and gave me bad information. Yet the price of the "other" insert was as much as Tacco's cost. So I'm think cheaper brand more margin for the store. Another came to display and asked if the inserts worked. I told her Tacco worked but this was an of brand, so I did know I told her I was going to George's and she followed.
