I have at least 6 of these now plus a butt load of Blue Chips. I don't notice any big differences between them. I grab the closest one.

I guess Im just another Dedicated fan of the Martin Heritage........

my wife (picked) this up for me for fathers day
great pick amazing tone (so far i have my blue chips back in there box and I do like em
well see) great volume and tone grip is great as well love the bevels and shape of the pick
sounds great with my D35

great product

I've bought 3 of these since they came out... never thought I'd spend $60 on 3 picks but here I am. I play rhythm for the most part and get a significant amount of wear on these picks--I get about 2-3 more weeks of use out of these compared to other 1.0mm picks.

They do sound great. It gives a great loud, warm tone to the attack on the strings and really brings out the bottom end of my Martin. I would just sparingly use them for performance only and not practice as they're expensive. As they wear you get less bite on the attack and it gets warmer/duller. If that's what you're going for then the bevels do a really good job of wearing to your play.

overall, use sparingly, or don't and get the sound you want by adjusting your pick position and wear.

This would make a great gift!

Considering the other options near this price point I expected a bit more. Pick feels a bit slow off the strings and is noisy compared to other high end picks. Maybe some extra hand polishing would help to take care of that?

Bottom line: I'd suggest saving your money and going with the better sounding Dunlop Prime Tone, or spending a bit more and treating yourself to a Blue Chip.

On the plus side, I think the shape and bevel is great (an obvious copy of the Blue Chip TP 1R)
