Be sure you are getting what you expect with the Polish origin product. They are often made using a different process to most makers, I understand its often a type of casting rather than a pressure/vacuum moulding.
Not that its a big issue if you know how to handle both, but the product is a bit more fragile than that of some other makers, even though equally hard. Have had some where the outer surface is hard but when they break it turns out to have been just a skin and the beads in the interior, especially in thick and bulky areas, can just be a lot of loose beads that flow out. More 'biscuity' so need more careful handling. Perfectly functional in most situations though.
