Subj: Re: [kl] Grand Concert Select Thick equivalent of V12

Hi Soo:
I prefer the Grand Concert Thick Blanks because I find them to be more
consistant. I liked them better, however, when they came is quarter
strengths. I haven't used any V-12's in a while, but I seem to remember
that they're about the same strength an the Grand Concerts.
