    The main thing is to try a few. Pick them up, sus out the safety, get the feel of them. Then buy whichever one 'floats your boat'. We're all built differently so get whatever feels right for you. As said earlier second hand can be a good option and leaves you more money from better glass. Would be a dull world if everyone had the same thing.

    I could see that as soon as you put it down.
