Are all rubber door seals created equal?

Just finished putting all new door rubber seals in my 71. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the sealing properties. I did buy from a well advertised 67-72 parts dealer. Is this normal and I just deal with it or do you get what you pay for here.

STEEL, weatherstripping / window rubber etc, has always been a good choice.

Steele Rubber products are the best in my opinion...
