Which show do you think would yield the most affordable ordnance?

This weekend there are two shows where ordnance will be present. One is the MAX show, which is a massive show dedicated to militaria, and a nice variety of ordnance which contains items I can afford. I have been to the MAX show 4 times.

The other show is the Ohio Cartridge Show in Northern Ohio, which looks to be rather tiny.

I have never been to a dedicated cartridge and/or ordnance show and am quite torn as to which even it would be more promising for me to attend.

I like the idea of the unknown, yet fear it at the same time. The drive to the Ohio show is much more entertaining as well, filled with many venues that sell ordnance.

Has someone been to the Ohio Cartridge Show, or the likes?

HELP!
 
FWIW I have been attending the Ohio Cartridge Collector Shows for the last 25+ Years and they have been very disappointing for the last 7 or so years. It is currently a 50 Table or less show that takes about 15 minutes to see everything. Most of the "Old Timers or Heavy Hitters" no longer set-up / attend due to some past internal strife and the selection / presence of ordnance items (If any) is poor. I live about 20 minutes away so still attend on Friday as a spectator always hoping to find something good, however is just isn't happening anymore.
 
Awesome response.

You confirmed exactly what I have been thinking.

MAX show it is. Although I loathe most of the prices; I always get a good laugh out of them, and I have yet to leave disapointed.
