Xs20 natural vs brilliant

[M.S.]

Hello guys, new member here, excuse my stupidity:

I'd like to seek some opinions on the old discontinued xs20 line from sabian. As far as i know, it originally came out in 2003 with the weird lathing pattern and natural finish before the brilliant and normally spaced models in 2012 (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'd like to know from anyone who's had experience with this line; any tonal differences between the two? Which do you prefer?

Thanks in advance for any insight given.

The last cymbal I bought was a new old stock 14" XS20 Hats, which I believe are brilliant. I use the bottom hat with an SR2 14" medium that used to be an HHX on top. I used to have XS20 16" and 18" crashes. Both of them sounded close to Sabian AA's. Peace and goodwill.
