>>9972688The D-arts were great because there was nothing better, and these were simply the best what with being a superior nippon product in general. But i just got tired of it for some reason, all i know is I sold it to buy the TruForce one. The Truforce one is just amazing as a toy, but I still craved a standard X. it took me a long time to bite on the koto kit, but I love it more than the D-arts. It doesn't even feel like a plamo, because it has just about the same heft of the D-arts. So, id like to say that you asked at a good time because the koto is still available at retail price
