i have a regular Douglas protector that i bought 4 years ago, and i will say it is 10X the protector my wilson west vest was. reason is, i'm about 5'8" and 170 and the wilson WV was too bulky. i looked like robocop, as someone put it. i was working a tournament and a guy my size had a the douglas and he said he loved it. he let me wear it a game and it was smaller fitting, lighter, and was much better in forming to my frame. for me, the douglas is THE way to go. i have taken some legit shots with it with college kids runnin' it up there better than 90 and i noticed no difference in protection in comparison to the WV.
