The verdict

Crimsafe leads 40 to 28, and the gap is mostly one thing: commitment to the buyer, where it takes 9.3 of 30 against 3.3.

Both scores measure what each maker publishes, not laboratory strength. A system that declines to state its alloy or its price scores badly here by design, and may still be excellent steel. The installer who measures and fastens it matters at least as much as either badge.
