A friend of mine is a CF framebuilder that purchases tubing from Enve and Rock West Composites. He has sent tubing samples from both to be tested by Mitsubishi Chemical Carbon Fiber and Composites, and the results were indistinguishable from one another. One big difference is that Enve charges over twice as much for the same tubing.
