Toslink Cable : Lifatec vs Wireworld Supernova 7

Hi, I want to buy a great sounding glass toslink optical cable for my cable box to processor. 

I've read that Lifatec and WW Supernova 7 are 2 of the preferred choices. If you have a better recommendation, please let me know. I know many opinions are that all toslink sounds the same but my ears should be able to hear a difference if I  upgrade to a glass toslink as I am using a cheap plastic one now.  The AudioQuest flagship Diamond is not in my price range.

Has anyone compared the two cables I'm contemplating? I want to achieve transparency and dynamic slam for movies/tv. My components are quite decent if that helps too. 

Thanks,
Mike

Never tried the supernova. I bought a 15 ft Lifatec and it definitely is superior to my previous Medical grade glass Toslink.  
For a cheap used $40 five-disc player to use with my $7000 Marantz Sa-10. Definitely better than average glass.

I tried the WW Supernova : it did sound a bit better than standard plastic grade toslink - but of course a lot more $.  

If you're interested in one, PM me.  I know a dealer who has a new one he wants to move (they are not big sellers).
