I bought these Kaplan AND the Manhattan GRE flashcards. The Manhattan are better than these, and here is why:
Basically they are both the same in content. These have a nice pronunciation guide that the Manhattan cards do not.
However, these are very cheap. They are printed on thin paper, and they are physically pretty small. Also I wish the printing on the back were upside-down from how it is now (both brands are like this). The Manhattan cards are bigger, printed on card stock but still reasonably thin, and come with a nice key-ring that fits through holes. With the Manhattan cards you load up the key ring, and blast through about 50, maybe stash them in a large pocket and get to them later, or throw them in the backpack. These Kaplan cards you are forced to try and keep the tiny cards together in stacks. The Manhattan you will use more because they are not a pain. These you will use less because they are just harder to work with, mechanically.

I am taking the revised GRE in September and purchased the McGraw Hill flashcards for vocabulary (not revised) and then realized I should probably have the "new" ones. After having and comparing both-I see little to no variation in the words. If they are cheaper-don't bother with the "new" version.
