Stainmaster vs Lifeproof vinyl plank flooring

[Joshua H.]

I'm looking to replace the flooring in an entire unit and debating between these two products. Although both Allure and Stainmaster have been around for a while, their waterproof lines are relatively new, so I haven't been able to find many longer term reviews. The Lifeproof is a Home Depot branded Allure product and the Stainmaster is partnered with Lowes. Lifeproof is roughly $2.80-3 sq ft and Stainmaster seems to be somewhat cheaper at $2.20-2.75 sq ft.

 The only complaint that I've consistently read is that an additional underlayment helps with any noise but I fear that may void the warranties. My biggest complaint between the two is the lack of light colored options without wild color variation.

Can anyone chime in with their experiences?
