I suggest going to the store and trying them out (if you haven't already) and then deciding again which would be more suited to the style that you're playing. Also compare the sound of your other cymbals with the one you're going to buy; is the ride you're buying too loud for the other cymbals (ie rock ride with jazz crashes/splashes)?

Yes zachy boy :x

Not really teq, I'm starting to build up on my cymbals, so yeah. Probaly getting a china after the ride!

What kinda music are you playing? I feel hihats and especially rides are a very personal taste kinda thing. I personally like rides which have cutting tone, loud, clear bell, defined sticking with minimal wash and fast decay.

Little heavy stuff, lol.
