The tape material for EZ Start is hilariously flimsy and lacked the elasticity I expect from packing tape (the tape borders on brittle, being easy to separate which I suppose has its purposes/benefits in some applications). Then there was the strong and unique smell suggesting a different (probably cheaper) adhesive formulation relative to other packing tapes. This price isn't saving a bunch over Wal-Mart's cheapest, but if the quality is an improvement and I won't give my wife reason to complain about the smell (since I keep a roll handy in our mail center cabinet... where the glorious smell builds up to await the next sucker opening the door).
Good luck!
Jon
