Not saying there is anything wrong with pro choice bits. I have a few but most are copies of an original design. I have a Don Hansen and have rode in my mom's Avila correction which is a copy and there's no comparison, just like a copy of an Ed Wright bit never has the same feel.

If he made one, I'd have one. Lol I have an original 7inch, a 9 inch, the new PC "derby", and the version that KLU makes.
