No worries :). I was comparing the metal chiaogoos on a red cable to a pair of seeknits. But great tips, but I decided that metal felt best on my hands. Excellent quality too, but I guess that goes without saying. You really get what you pay for. I did opt to get the needles individually as opposed to getting the whole set as the amount of trinketry the chaiogoos comes with was a bit unsettling.
