Metal needle comparison

Discussion

I want to invest in a set of interchangeable needles, so I’ve been buying individual needles (ChiaoGoo & LYKKE) to see what I like (obvi ChiaoGoo is a cult fav but I loveeee LYKKE’s customer service). I read the discourse on the LYKKE CYPRUS needles - how they’re heavier and sticker … but WOW, now that I have them and can compare them to my ChiaoGoo, it’s so obvious. The Cyprus needles weigh almost 10g whereas ChiaoGoo is at about 6.5… and even though I read about it, the stickiness of the metal needle caught me off guard (I said out-loud to myself, “oh! Those redditors were NOT exaggerating” LOL).

With all that… has anyone tried the LYKKE flights? I love the ChiaoGoo cords and feel like that set might be my route, but am thinking of trying a set of flights to test as well, depending on the feedback here!
