I guess for many it comes down to "why would you take pot luck in a parlour when you can book a specific independant though AW?". Personally I prefer parlours. You know they'll be there when you turn up , you usually get a choice of women, at least one of whom is okay, you know what it's going to cost, and, perhaps most importantly, they want you to come back again next week which meand at least a modicum of customer service.
Also most roms, who I really think dominate the market currently, are trafficked and work for their pimps in shit rented flats rather than in a "legitimate" knocking shop.
I think this also goes some way to explaing the reducing numbers of decent brit girls working. If you have to compete entirely on price, anyone who is any good is not going to work for reducing returns. Trading price cuts with the dregs of Europe is bad for morale and is not what you want a girl to be doing/feeling if you want a good shag.
After brexit when the roma (who form the majority of rom prossies) get thrown out, we might see a return to something like a level playing field.
