I only have a Si-bell, not a Cuplee, but my impression is that the main difference between the two would be their shapes. The Si-bell has a U-shaped bottom and the Cuplee has a V-shaped bottom. I think the Cuplee stem is also hollow, if that matters to you.
The Si-bell stem is stretchy, but it's not so stretchy that it becomes impossible to grip. The cup is also very easy to remove. It's got vertical indents that run along the cup, and if you break the seal at one of those points, it stays broken.
I don't think there's anything in particular to recommend either cup over the other, so at this point it's really just personal preference.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear you think the Si-Bell is easy to remove. That's good to know about the indents. I knew that it had some ridges along the sides but wasn't too sure what function they had.
I decided to go with the Si-Bell. I think it's really what I've had my heart set on getting.
Cup Lee Versus Si-Belldjehutys_wisdomFebruary 23 2016, 13:24:49 UTC
In your position, if I had to choose between those two, I would get a Si-Bell. I trust the French much more than the Russians to have actually made it out of the materials they claim and to have high safety standards. It's sad, but the fact is there is much more corruption in Russia than in France.

I'll be honest--I have the same reservations about the Cuplee. Nothing against the Russians, but I do wonder about the manufacturing standards. I also feel like I've heard better things about the Si-Bell, overall.
Thanks for the input! I decided to get the Si-Bell.
The Si-Bell will have better capacity with the bell shape and a less pokey stem. It's also a little longer in total length, I think, which may be necessary for you.
