Default Snuffy Smith & Kat Eyz Banjo Bridges

Hi Folks,

I'm liking my new Bart Reiter Galax more and more, the more I play it, and will probably keep it. I want to lower the banjo's bridge height from its current 5/8" height to 9/16" to make it a bit easier to play. I'm thinking that Bart Reiter likely installs a standard Stewart-MacDonald banjo bridge on his banjos and that's good but since I'm going to change the height of the bridge, my questions are:

1) Are Snuffy Smith and Kat Eyz banjo bridges, which are both made by Kat Eyz, worth their $29.95 Snuffy Smith, and $32.95 - $37.95 Kat Eyz prices?

2) If you have other brands of banjo bridges that you like, what brand do you like and would recommend for a Bart Reiter Galax 5-String Banjo?


Thanks!

Ken
