Best value: Excellent
I use this drumkit format color green wood 22, 12, 13, 16, CC 5.5 since 1997, with the addition in 2006 of a 8x8 tom tom and a 18x16 (version B / B since the standard model is no longer).
I have never regretted that choice.
Birch has the attack and the power I'm looking for a grunge metal limits, but it is very easy to tune to bring out the harmonics hot (I use Remo Pinstripe skins).
The sound may seem aggressive in places with poor acoustics, but in recording and in well with sound, we can find her a pro.

What I like most: the power associated with the heat of the birch, the look and the attention to finishes (rubber washers, shells thin, molded circles), the easy adjustment for different musical styles.
What I like least: hard to find. At the time the accessories were low-end and the feet of Charles begins to have the game if, even a negative point: the drumkit is too powerful to play in bars should always be limited.

Previously I had the opportunity to try the first signs and Genista, the Pearl Export Select, and a Yamaha Stage Custom.
Apart from the first sign that I found similar but more jazzy, all were below.

The price / quality ratio is excellent. At the time I paid the whole 18,000 francs (with UFIP ClassSeries) and no model proposed sound as pro as this drumkit.

Experience with this choice I would do without hesitation. But with more money, I think today I am tempted by a Starclassic Bubinga.
