I purchased this a while back (summer I believe) but I finally pulled it out last week to bake cookies. We use the actual Silpat brand baking mats at school (I attend Sullivan University's Culinary Arts Program) and there is NO DIFFERENCE!!! They keep my cookies from sticking, they brown evenly, and cleanup is a breeze!! I just purchased a second so I can have two pans going in my oven at the same time!! I can't wait to purchase the 9" rounds for cakes!
UPDATE!!
While researching, I just realized that Sil-Eco is a division of SILPAT!!! It looks like Silpat is in stores while Sil-Eco is exclusively for Amazon.com and Kitchen Collection (at a fraction of the cost!!!)! How cool is that!! So no wonder there's no difference between the two!! I'm so happy right now!!!

I was wondering what the difference was between these and the Silpats that my friends use--as it turns out, only the price! These work great--I've used them multiple times for all sorts of breads--profiteroles, challah, scones (not cookies--I don't bake them that much, although I can't see how these wouldn't work for them)--and I've never had a problem with them. I just rinse them in some soapy water, and if there's some extra grease/flour on there, I wipe it gently with a moistened towel, and it's as good as new. It's also worth noting that whereas for many cookie sheets you have to wait for the sheet to cool before baking another batch (say, if you're making a bunch of cookies), these sheets are very quick-cooling, cutting down on a lot of cooling time.To be honest, I was surprised to find such a great product at a fraction of the price of the Silpats. I didn't realize these were made in China, as one reviewer points out, but that didn't necessarily matter to me. It might to you, and you should know that they are. That said, I feel I can definitely recommend these, especially for people who are tired of buying roll after roll of parchment paper. I should say, I haven't exactly gotten rid of the parchment paper just yet--it's good for lining the bottoms of cake and bread tins. But these are exactly what's needed when you're baking either free-form breads, or quick-breads.
