I think I would too. The novelty value would wear off...
So I priced both kits out with snare drum: $4820 for the finish ply and $7610 for the exotic finish. Well, that settles that.
The next (and maybe last question) is there really an inherent sonic detriment to going with a "finish ply" which is basically a wrap? I don't think that there is a difference that I would care about since there are no lacquer finishes that I would like as much. Plus the Broken Glass finish would hide scrapes and scuffs pretty well.
Thoughts Malcolm/Andrew?
I already know Alain's thoughts: Satin Finish with everything as black as Satan's asshole for the purest and darkest of tones.
