CTS vs Alpha Pots?

I am going to be starting my first build soon. I am wondering if it's worth paying extra for a CTS pot over Alpha pots for an amp build? I tend to stick to CTS for all my guitars, but was curious what the take is when it comes to amps.

Personally, I use Alpha throughout. Very satisfied with those and rarely problems occurring. The only CTS I use is the tremolo speed pot on my builds, which are usually 3M RA.

I usually use CTS in guitars, but sometimes Alpha or Bourns also. Alpha has more of the values and sizes needed for my builds, so they get used more on amps for me. All 3 are good brands.

I appreciate. the feedback. I'll be saving myself a few bucks and sticking with Alphas.
