Who knows? My musical taste doesn't change that fast but I'm sure I will probably add another ride to my collection at some point, just to try something different. Maybe an HH RBDR or even a Zildjian Custom Hybrid.
Sound
I really like this cymbal.....I replaced a Paragon ride with this one and I am very pleased. Very tonal, very musical, not clangy like the Paragon. Very good, dry stick definition, cuts very well. Good deal of wash, I for one use moongel on it to tone that down a bit.

Nope.
Ease of Use
Your just ride the ride!
Quality
I have never had complaints about Sabian, I've owned everything from B8 Pros to HHX....never a problem.
Value
This one is right on line with any other AAX top-of-the-line cymbal...plus a little haggling doesn't hurt.
Manufacturer Support
I have contacted Sabian on a couple of unrelated situations and service was fast and courteous.
The Wow Factor
I'm a huge AAX fan, and I laid my eyes on this baby a while back....I knew I would have to buy it new since you don't see a lot of used ones. My local GC had it on display and I loved it right there and then.
