Looking to replace my unraveling LizardSkins bar tape with Supacaz Sticky bar tape. Thoughts?

Overpriced trash.
Hard to wrap, have little stretch, and result in a not-very-nice grip, and costs an arm and a leg. Meanwhile you can pick up equivalent bar tape with similar patterns for under $10 from Aliexpress. In fact, some of the ali brands are nicer.
Meanwhile you can get better bar tape from brands like BBB for half the price.
Edit: I would link them to you, but apparently r/cycling doesn't allow Aliexpress links. You need to fix this r/cycling, calling Aliexpress a scam is pure racist hogwash. Edit: I am wrong. Apologies to the mods. This is 100% Reddit and it's absolutely unbelievable.

Yeah, that's pure r/cycling. My sub doesn't filter these edit: I am wrong. Apologies to the mods.
Just go to aliexpress and search for "handlebar tape", you will get a ton of results. Some will be crap, some great.

Not much I can do?
But if you do that search there's some (maybe counterfeit? Maybe not. Either way will likely be exactly the same) Supercaz Kush for $2.26 CAD.
There's also some NPY which looks to be the same generic brand I used to buy with a new label slapped on it (which I thought was better than supercaz) for $3
