I was in Petsmart last night and they had both the Drinkwell and the Petmate. If I'm remembering correctly the Drinkwell was $49 and the Petmate was $39. So now - in Dallas at least - you can get either drinking system at both Petco and Petsmart! I got the Petmate system for my babies last night. Smudge loved it, my Nermal (who isn't the sharpest crayon in the box) hasn't quite figured it out yet. He kept dipping his paw into the pool and then licking it. He splashed a lot too. It was cute.
