I have this cymbal for 1 year. I had bought second hand.
I love her very accurate and very hot, hotter than HHX but less accurate, however. What I love is that it is super thin but solid.

I tried K of A. I decided for this one because of the price (in time ...)
Nine value for money is good, but if you will, there's more.

Look at the MEINL UFIP in Byzantium and there are very nice cymbals for cheap.
I do not think I will have bought new, but secondhand go ahead it's solid!
Addition September 2007: the appearance of a small crack ... So finally the strength was not so good. Anyway, it lasted much shorter than my Meinl Byzance when I hit them the same way.
