I've cooked with both, and really like both. I don't think the Wagyu is any better than the Prime Sterling Silvers. Both will give you an equally excellent product...so save your money.
I've never gotten a pre-seasoned one. I used to purchase the prime sterling from the food providers while working as a chef in bulk, I've never seen prime beef in a store...only choice.
Yep, I never buy into the hype of products because of a name...I go by taste/texture/quality. For example, I love a good Berkshire pig because the taste and fattiness of the meat is great compared to commercially raised lean pork...I will pay twice as much for it on some occasions. The "wagyu" (whatever that means) is great meat (at least from SRF), but no better than the sterlings at a lesser price.
