GroundHog Tent Stake, Genuine MSR (20% stronger) vs Aliexpress Offer

"Stronger" refers to bending strength based on geometric section properties (section modulus), not material strength of Aluminum alloy. Also, the "strength" does not consider the possibility of premature collapse of the thin flange(s) due to instability (buckling).

Stake pull-out, driven to the same stick-up, the MSR stake is +15% more resistant to pull-out, due to the increased (area) skin friction. The (1) longer MSR stake, with (2) increased flange with offers 15% more pull-out resistance.

Actual bending tests would be worthwhile. Would demonstrate the actual strength, including the material strength of the aluminum alloy.
