I would've named this thread, "Finally bought a kit after insane debating" but it was already taken.
It has been a tough choice to say the least but I finally decided on this kit in the "Rock" config (22 x 14" kick - 13 x 9" mounted tom -16 x 16" floor tom).
The toms have great tone and resonance. This is the first time I haven't muffled the bass drum with anything inside. I've been working around with tuning and have come across a wide range of sound with it. I had previously picked up a Ludwig Supralite 13x6 snare. Pretty happy with everything. Let me add that Bill at Pork Pie Percussion saved me a great deal of agony with the buying/shipping process. Bill directed me to Dana at Bentley's Drum Shop where he had just shipped a couple of these kits to. This saved me three months, easy. Thanks Bill.
Here are a few pics.
