Asian WLs (independents, although most are not) charge anything from $250 to $450+. The upper range can go as high as $1000, $450 to $500 seems to be common and may or may not include common extras. If one compares service quality, many asking $450 - $550 provide a service that is no better than the average ML and you have the frequent issue of bait and switch. Even the better WLs provide a service that is no better than the top shelf MLs. As well, the advertised hourly rate for WLs may not include the cost of extras like dfk, daty, bbbj, cim etc which can add much more to the price. There are of course exceptions, but in general the ML experience is more consistent. So, you balance price against bed, privacy, ready access to shower, greater certainty of what services are available, and the freedom to ask questions about the service, extras etc before you book. On balance, I choose the ML as I stick to shops where quality is pretty good.
