I've only tried the concentrate (cheaper), and it's great. Just ordered 3 5lb tubs (and some pancake mix).

Yeah I found it strange that you can get an extra 3 pounds for a few bucks. Does anyone know the reason for this??

did you guys compare nutrion facts? maybe one has shitload of fructose and other stuff you don't need. But bump for a straight answer!

Isolate is in general a higher quality protein than concentrate.

From wheyoflife.org:

Q: How Are Whey Protein Concentrate and Whey Protein Isolate Different?

A: Whey protein isolate is the purest form of whey protein and contains between 90 to 95% protein. It contains little (if any) fat or lactose. Whey protein concentrate is available in a number of different types based upon the protein content of the product, which can range between 25%-89%. It will contain some lactose, fat, and minerals. As the protein level increases the amount of lactose decreases. Whey protein concentrate at an 80% protein content is the form most readily available as a protein powder supplement.

the process of making isolate is what contributes to the cost,

Personally i like isopure.

I like chocolate, but it's all I've tried. Ordered a tub of vanilla this time, though (along with 2 choc). I've heard the strawberry is really good, but I don't like strawberry stuff.

Damn, that's a shock. Honestly, ever vanilla flavored protein I've ever had makes me gag unless I mix something (anything) in with it. I'll definitely give this one a shot.
