Barry, have you considered just getting acrylic nails? it's what a huge percentage of pro fingerstyle players use, and tho there is some getting use to them, it's nothing like fingerpicks. I don't think I could ever use fingerpicks - just too awkward and too removed from feeling the strings (and they tend to be unstable, at least in my limited experiments). And the sound is often fairly brash and clicky (tho I know some people are successful in avoiding that with practice). The minute I tried nails, there was no going back.
