Not yet. I have grip primetones in .88 and 1.0 and I like then both.

An opinion without 3.14 is an onion. You'll understand.

Some of y'all said I might be back to the mediums in no time. Well...

How it started: a pack of 3mm Dunlop Big Stubbies.

How it's going:

(A tin of Apollo and Honey Picks, thinnest being 2mm, mostly casein, a few acrylic)

As previously mentioned, though, I do still keep some medium/heavy celluloids and primetones around. I think those work better with the 12s. The fatter picks mute a bit of the chime and jangle...but man do they make the Eastman sound sweet.

I wanted to grab some EMLs but life got in the way and when I was ready again... EML was MIA.

Try the smooths. Totally different sound and feel.
