Hi Camelbrass:
I appreciate your input and experience. I am currently playing a gold WT and love it, by the way.
My interest is primarily in solo work so, whether the Custom works in a section setting has little relevance to me. If that were ever a requirement, however, the WT can certainly do the job. As for the Eclipse, I don't doubt its pedigree, however, I tend to gravitate towards the large bore horns as provided by the WT and Taylor. I currently have a Chicago Custom on order in gold satin plate but I suspect it will take another three or four months before I'll see it.
Thank you once again for your thoughtful comment.
