No difference in quality of the 13.5" ones.

I take it your talking about reproductions.
Ethan's right the 13.5 globes are pretty much the same and are real nice. I haven't seen any of the 15" reproductions so i can't help you there. There are a lot of guys doing them and i would think they all are good.
Keep in mind when restoring a pump if this matters to you or not that a certain time frame the globes where used. You wouldn't want to put a 15" globe on a Tokheim 39 or a Bennett 766.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

The 15 inch ones made by Lance (pogogas) and Mike Slama are great. You can't go wrong with either guy. Two nice guys who both make awesome globes... is this a great hobby or what? 
I remember the good old days when gold was worth more than rust!

A few years ago I bought a GILMORE BLU-GREEN from Pergle. It was not the qualiy that I expected [they make the 13 1/2" globes, which are great]. I couldn't sell them fast enough, it was like they expanded the image of the 13 1/2 to 15".
Mike & Lance do GREAT WORK on graphics and color.
