It arrived last week, and I've not had too much time, but after initial clumsiness due to the larger size compared with my Wegen, I got used to it and the tone is definitely much richer and more subtle. It is also a lot clearer which means that I seem to be able to play fast with more clarity and definition. Also, it is so big that I absolutely have to have a correct pick grip, otherwise it doesn't work. In general, yes, it's like using a more accurate tool. So, I am pleased!
