Arimidex va. Aromasin

Apologies if this has been answered before but I could not locate a thread on the subject.

i realize that doctors prescribe Arimidex with TRT as the standard of care. I was wondering why Aromasin is not as popular. This is a suicidal inhibitor and in theory , more effective to get rid of excess estradiol. A lot of bodybuilders support the use of Aromasin. I would appreciate any knowledgable comments on the subject.
 
I think Arimidex is just more commonly prescribed making most dr's more comfortable with it. Also I think Aromasin is more expensive and insurance company's might give DR's a hard time as there are cheaper alternatives.
