Generally, I prefer the DaVinci's over the Torani for flavour(s), but it varies. I don't much like the Caramel in either of them, to tell the truth, it just doesn't taste like Caramel to me. Torani has a couple of sugarfree flavours I just can't get in DaVinci, so that's where I often end up with the Torani; Almond Roca is one of them, Mango is another...and their Lemon is really nice and acid, like lemonade or lemon juice, though the downside is that it will curdle dairy. I can use that feature, but it catches some people by surprise.
I haven't had the opportunity to try the Monin O'Free yet, but I do know that I will have to refrigerate them (because of the extra ingredients) which is a problem for me (fridge space is at a definite premium!). I'd like to try some of their yummy flavours though -- mmmmmmmmmmmmm, Blackberry!
I have tried this imported from France 1880 brand, highly rated in the Vanilla, but it has a distinct bitter aftertaste that I can't ignore...don't know if I have a bad bottle or it's common to all that brand, but it's too expensive to buy more and find out. Yuck.
