Clopidogrel or Asprin

At 12 months after 2 stents and I need reduce to one clotting tablet. Clopidogrel is more expensive so they ask you to stick with Asprin but any view whether one or the other is better for life?

I was told from the outset that I would be taking Clopidogrel for one year. I think the risk is passed after one year when you have a further angiogram to check the stents (I had 6). I am still here so must have worked! I was already taking a baby aspirin before they found the narrowing.
