In the shop it looked a little utilitarian however I opted for it instead of the stronger Citrine partly on price but mainly because it best replicates the sets used in club matches and week-end tournaments. Judging from your description of the 'feel' of the Citrine's pieces I feel happy with my choice. Stronger players than me (I'm ca 1400) will need to take into account the greater strength of the Citrine when making their choice.
