I've not had Bensies but I have had the Aups. In terms of strength and effect compared to other vals, Im not keen on Aups. A lot of folk on here swear by them and I recently made a large order on the back of that but they really don't do anything for me. Could be the binders or perhaps that I've recently changed back from fast acting b@nzos but I'm dont feel the same anxiety release (even with large dose). Must depend on metabolism of individual as other folk on here have same batch of aups and like them.
