Default PRINTING Question

I am getting some A6 size promo/business cards printed and I have a choice of using Litho or Digital printing. These will be full colour with photo on one side and blurb on the other.

Which method will produce the better result?

Incidentally my friends at www.fatflyers.com have quoted £73 inc delivery plus artwork at £25 for 500 x 400gsm cards which I think is a great price. These using Litho printing which seems slightly cheaper so I'll go for those unless anyone here flags up a problem.

Jenny says litho will give a better result given it is photo, she also said that 400gsm card does not usually work well if at all with a digital press so you will need to use thinner card if you go that route
She buys print, POS and DM for one of the major banks

It all depends on which litho press and which digital engine is being used... You can get digital engines that produce very good quality print on card, and you can get others that are rubbish.
