Going through that right now!
They are very good but I'm finding the Mangans just a little too warm for bare finger-style compared with JP's.

Retro Monels for me - love them. Tried them on my 810 - made it absolutely sing.

I've really liked Martin Retro Monel's on my archtop. Newtone were good but not as good. I'm currently trying out Mangan's.
