Ken, your summary of the Pirastro strings is really helpful. Could you rate the strings for pizz as well as arco? Good sustain, etc. and also a mention if any particular string (e.g. an E) in a family stands out in some way. If possible, Permanents as well?

I'm asking as I'm using Original Flat Chrome at the moment, playing about 70% orchestral 30% jazz. Next time I buy, I'll probably switch to a darker string (maybe Flex 92) and it would be really useful to get a view as to how the other strings compare to the OFC.
