I’m cynical – I think you all know that. I was expecting VS-850 with new writing and a new packet, but I wanted VS-850 with a bit of polish: better tension holding and better quality control (and, of course, getting all the way through a string job without breaking). Based on today’s testing, it seems that they’ve managed the latter. As long as it doesn’t break on Friday… could be my new go-to. Sorry, Gosen!
