Specific question choosing Duelund vs Mogami for affordable interconnect


I realize everyone has their favorite, I’m looking at two: Mogami (2549, possibly others models)and Duelund 20 GA dca w switchcraft RCA plugs.
Modest interconnect from Onkyo C 7030 to Rotel RA 1070 integrated. 1 meter length.

Yes, I’ve read and reread several threads on this, didn’t find anything focused on the above, just opinions on analog vs digital, balanced vs single end etc.

Anyone use(d) both, care to compare?
Also, do either require a ’ break in" period to exhibit they’re most musical presentation?
Thank you

The Duelund 16 gauge is just wonderful as well as the 20 gauge. I like the meat on the bones texture of the 16 gauge a little.  Much better sounding, much better, than the Mogami. I make and sell cables and have used both.  The Duelund stranded copper in cotton is just unbeatable at its price point.  
If you use better connectors like Eichman or Cardas and the 16 ga wire, then the Duelund can sounds spectacular. Also, how they are built helps. Proper striping of the stranded wire can be tricky to avoid nicks and such. Proper cleaning off the oil residue on the wire is important. Also, not using too much solder is key.
