Coco Lopez has a much better flavor than Real. Although, when it is mixed into a Painkiller, the flavor differences are less noticeable.

I often just use Real just because of the ease of use. When you are making a dozen PKs, opening and dealing with 4+ cans of Lopez gets pretty old.

As far as the price difference, I noticed that Target started to stock the Coco Real. At first they only had 1 or 2. I would go and buy them all out every time I was in there. After a while they would have 2-3 and I kept buying them all. Now when I stop in, they are fully stocked. You just have to make them think that there is a big demand for it in your area and they will start to stock it regularly.

Target - Coco Real - $2.47
Bevmo - Coco Real - $4.47

Sometimes I can find Lopez cheap (like $1 a can), but it is also kinda hard to find anywhere around me. Usually Lopez costs over $2 per can so the cost difference is minimal in my area.

I guess it depends how much you want to deal with messing with the Lopez. It is the superior product as far as flavor, just inferior as far as convenience.
