The only advantage to the one on the right is that it's obviously LEGO to the

into thinking it's some other brand of construction toy.

The ironic thing is that there is no TECHNIC clone on the market (making the one
on the left more distinctly "LEGO"), and parents often get confused about what
is truly LEGO product vs. what is a clone product.

I wasn't talking about clones; I was talking about other types of toys like
K'Nex.  But you're right, it's an interesting irony that the one on the right
might be closer to say MegaBlocks than the one on the left.
