Spiber will be more specialized and arguably of higher quality which will be better for specialized applications assuming they meet their stated goal.

Kraig is also in the advanced development stage for its next-generation spider silk product, tentatively known as “SpiderPillar.” SpiderPillar will be an essentially pure spider silk. This material holds the potential to make significant inroads into the technical textiles market.

Our third line of products, which we refer to as “Gen 3 technical and medical fiber,” is designed to move beyond the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of natural spider silk. Gen 3 fibers are in a relatively early stage of development and will incorporate such elements as antibacterial agents for medical use, and metallic ions for use in industrial processes.

I think everyone will agree there will be an initial shortage.

Either way, when these companies take off, i doubt both of them together will have enough to meet the initial demand.

Totally agree here but I do not think that they can customize any easier than KBLB could.

DNA transfer is what it is.
I do see spiber being able to increase or decrease protein percentage easier than KBLB. That could lead to an easier customization but that theory has not proven yet.

If both are successful I would see Spiber coming up with a custom fiber (example super flexible) first and KBLB coming out with a fiber with the same properties at 1/50th the cost afterward.
