Pros & Cons
Pros
This set includes a true crimson red! The colors are brighter and the blending is similar. When there is a blueish-purple, there are 2 shades to blend. Pros:-lots of colors here.
The pencils apply color to paper smoothly, and i am happy with the amount of pressure needed for application. I'm not sure of this if course, it is purely speculation, but i do notice a slight irritation.

If price is a concern i would think you would prefer these
The most comparable set would be this one versus the prismacolor or 3 times the price derwent
Packaging/appearance
I also like the smell of the cedar barrels on the derwent
This set is not soft core so you need to burnish or blend in order to remove the chalky and blotchy appearance from your paper
Competitiveness
I have a lot of pencils brands prismacolor polychromos derwent and these are my go to pencils
These pencils are a great value for the price
I received a discounted price for writing this review but this in no way affected my opinion
