i think the open star nozzle is more or less the same. you get them in different sizes. I have tried a swirl with this nozzle already and with a wilton 1M. Comes out more or less the same.
I have even used the big pastry open star nozzle, just makes a bigger swirl with more icing.
Ateco brand is an excellent quality that has been around for a while (longer than Wilton). They are very well made for bakery and pastry shop and decorating purposes. You can buy small booklets with how-to-use photos of all their tubes.
Numbers--Wilton originally just sold Ateco brand but then started making their own when they opened a factory in South Korea. Most of the numbers are still the same--the new 200's are renumbered from small tips like 1S and 23S and so on.
Only thing Ateco tubes/tips are not the best for is lace piping.
