Trying to decide between two cables

I have an 8 channel mixer, and I need to run a batch of 8 cables from it so that the inputs are easier to access.

I plan to just get an 8 cable snake bundle. I found 2 on Amazon.com. 1 is $50 and the other is $28. I can't really tell a difference between the two. It's for recording, so I want a quality signal, but this is just a basic balanced XLR situation so I'm not sure I need anything special.

I know Hosa makes quality stuff, but the Pyle stuff has good reviews. I don't want to spend any more than necessary so I guess I'm looking for a reason NOT to get the $28 bundle.

I couldn't find any specs either. No one wants to say what guage wires they use or even what the manufacturer of the XLR connector is (I suspect Neutrik at least for the Hosa as they have the Neutrik logo on their website and those seem to match the X or XX series).
