Who makes SVO injectors and what makes them better than Accel?

Ok, who makes these SVO injectors that I keep hearing about and why should I go with them as opposed to Accel injectors??? Where can I get the SVO injectors and what is the approximate cost of a set of 24 lb/hr injectors?? I'm really thinking about going with the Accel injector GP but I'm still open to advice!!

SVO stands for Special Vehicle Operations and its a Ford trademark. On Ford vehicles with 37 PSI they flow 24lbs but on GM vehicles with 43 PSI they flow 26lbs or so. People like them because they are usually cheaper, and they're good quality.

Kevin,
Do you know the calculation in determining that statement? (the 24# injector flowing like a 26@43psi). I would appreciate if you could help me out.

new flow = old flow * (new pressure/old pressure)^0.5

Or

New flow is equal to the old flow multiplied by the square root of the ratio of new pressure to old pressure.
