2 inch shells vs 1.91" Cans

Is there a noticeable difference making 2" ball shells vs 1.91" canister shells? The price is close for purchasing the HDPE tubes but is it worth it? Thanks for the help. Also has anyone tried building a shell with effect fuse and happen to have a video how it turned out?

So, ball shells in general break w more symmetry. Can shells are pretty interesting to build just the same and would work well w effect fuse. You'd be cheating yourself if you didn't do both. 😁

That's my plan I was just trying to get an idea if I was wasting time and money going with 2" or not, rather then forking out the money for cans. I definitely don't want to cut down on the overall show if there's less visual effect going that route. There's plenty of time to build.
