I've prefered the moda bella solids I've used to kona -- but I use both. Kona I have sometimes had issues with bleeding (a recent Pacific blue was a bleeder) and I find it to be a coarser weave. Even so, I have access to a wider range of colors for better prices with Kona than Moda, so I buy what I want and don't stress it.

I don't know if they one they're offering now is the newest. I bought my Bella card at Hancock's of Paducah so maybe they have Kona cards too (I think they were OOS when I bought mine).

I love the Kona solids, and even bought a bolt of the Kona Snow because I use so much of it. I love the way it looks. I've also had some Moda solids, and in my experience, they do not match the Kona colors well enough to use in the same quilt, for example, if you're trying to use the same color of each. I don't have the expense account for the Moda line. Kona is more affordable, and I have also used the RJR solids with excellent results; but again, I didn't try to mix the RJR with either the Kona or the Moda.

I use Kona snow most of the time over the white. Years ago I switched from P&B solids to using Kona cottons. I have never tried Moda solids. Noticed Michaelal Miller has come out with a large line of solids too.
