After pining for one forever, I finally bought a National Tricone (Mahogony) a few weeks ago. I play mostly fingerstyle too, but the tricone comes alive when played with a pick. I find that my fingers alone can't drive the cones like they are supposed to be driven. That's not to say that you can't enjoy it playing fingerstyle. I've never played a single cone, but I imagine the same principle applies.
