I am currently making the switch over from sabian to meinls I was recently looking at the meinl byzance 20" thin ride and was wondering its durability? I am looking to use it as a big crash and from anyones experience, how would it measure up as a crash? All in all i was just wondering if meinls were durable cymbals or not cuz ive heard it go both ways. I also just recently bought a 17" mb8. any thoughts on that durability and sound wise? I pound on my drums as a whole pretty hard so having my cymbals last me a bit would be something i really would prefer. Also, ive had my own assumptions and speculations as to what a cymbal being termed "heavy", "medium", or "light" have been but i wanted to get a for sure answer as to what that meant? does it refer to how the cymbals made? or how durable it is?
any thoughts? also feel free to include any info of any great sounding meinl (or any other brand) crash's or rides that sound great and any meinl or other cymbals that are durable.
thanks a bunch!

p.s.
which other meinl cymbals do you guys think sound great?
i personally play a rock/hardcore style and i was first intrigued by meinl because i saw Aaron from underoath using them.
