My choice every time. > Regards > Joe Garrett, R.P.T. ----------------------------------------------------- In what way is buckskin all that superior? In the tests I monitored the Ecsaine outperformed several varieties of buckskin by margins ranging from 1.5:1 up to 3:1. It was more predictable in terms of thickness, complience and overall quality. It was more stable. It was not cheaper. Regards, Del
