I have 43mm SunFly's that get used regularly and having one "break" is something I would never even consider. Not even on the radar screen.
That's a relief. Sunfly 43's on the HB005 set were originally on the radar, but I've been pulled into trying to get either Paulson
THC's or
CPC's for my custom set.
If Sunfly were to start taking American orders regularly and I don't have to worry about those exorbitant shipping costs and the heavy tariffs, I'd happily do my tournament set with them. I love
@p5woody's "Woody's Casino" set and I really like the 43's. the only thing I can't seem to do with the Sunfly 43's is make those guys stand on end.
Here's the way I look at it:
The biggest pros and cons are as follows:
Sunfly 43's:
+: Easy to order, customizable as hell
+: Lowest priced option (some have quoted as low as .72 a chip for 700 chips)
-: shipping and import costs
-: Not sure I can get the vibrant colors I want to make this set pop. (I want the fire oranges, the bright fuchsias, the lime greens, etc.)
THC's:
+: Well known, extremely durable.
+: Paulsons, duh.
-: Hard as shit to locate
-: Price could be in excess of $1000 just for the chips
CPC's:
+: Easy to locate
+: Seems durable for a clay chip
-: Queue is about 6 months, maybe longer for my design
-: Certain chips are "in season" unless I want the A-mold and Small Crown was recommended to me.
