The old Blue Steels were very good, but they changed too and the quality fell off drastically. Then there was the Microbatch Lancero, which was really good, because it was actually just an AJ Fernandez stick. This were a limited release, so good luck on that. I don't bother with the brand anymore, they just aren't a good value, and you never know, once you found a good line, when they will "cost optimize" the blend so the bundles you are getting are nothing like what was before. My advice would be not to stock up.
