Doorstop vs Solidor, any difference?

I've gotten a few quotes for external doors.
Two companies have given fairly comparable quotes. The first company has quoted for doors manufactured by Doorstop (never heard of them) but upgrading to Solidor is quite a sizeable extra charge.

The second company has quoted for doors that are Solidor. I've only heard of Solidor from my Google searching but I can't vouch for their quality difference.

The fact that the first company is charging quite a lot to upgrade from Doorstop to Solidor seems to indicate Solidor are a better product, but just wanted to check on the forums to see what people think? Is Solidor a better quality door compared to Doorstop?

TIA

    We were adamant on a Solidor about 5 years ago, no idea why (I think the name and advertising they done at the time)  but a door supplier and fitter suggested us a DoorStop composite door instead. We are based in Essex and 5 years ago paid £1,600 for front and back doors. Not had any problems with them.  Would definitely recommend and buy DoorStop again
