Price, volume, and strength are generally the primary competing factors in tool steel. Knipex generally produces a stronger, less clunky wrench at a higher price, while HF compromises a little on strength and added bulk in favor of a lower price. Note that the cheaper steels also tend to dull, round, and deform faster. Whether any of this is worth the extra $20-30 is entirely up to you.
I should add that even some SDers might also value giving their business to the companies that engineer good tools rather than those that shamelessly rip them off. That's arguably less of an issue once they come off patent, though, and of course I'd never begrudge anyone whose tight budget makes going the knockoff route the only choice.

These are a fantastic deal, as is the combo for ~$80-90. I'll basically be eliminating 3 adjustable wrenches with one, and this one will last years with much better fit on fittings and such.
If you haven't seen it in action, go watch videos and you'll see the importance of the mechanism vs the traditional slider type.
