They both are good sites, but nobody can be the end all. Every place has its
strong points. I go every where I can to get different points on view, and
information. 503 has more armor discussion then Steel soldiers, but steel
has some good general info on vehicles.
I like them both. I also like this list; I have gotten very good information
off it over the years also.

It seems to me that the Steel Soldiers is a rehash of the G503. The 2
should get together instead of pulling participants away from each other.
