Overall winner: 9x12 Sketch Book 3-Pack, Spiral Bound, 100 Sheets each
Key Differences
Fuxi (A) is a more budget-friendly, spiral-bound 9x12 sketchbook set with 68lb/100gsm acid-free paper and very high user ratings; choose A if you want affordable, multi-use sketchbooks for sketching, painting, and writing. Strathmore (B) offers heavier-weight vellum-surface mixed media and bristol pads in larger sizes with reported superior thickness and durability, so pick B if you need thicker, heavy-duty sheets for varied wet/dry media despite some reports of tearing or mixed pad contents
