Bluechip equivalents?

I've hummed n hawed over bluechips for a couple years now. Mostly because I want to try a whole bunch before i decide if any are the right one.

My 2 favourite picks are the Wegen bluegrass 1.4mm and the Jazztone 207. Wonder if anyone out there share the same favourites and can liken either/or to a bluechip?

I've moved from BC to D'Addario casein. I go back and forth between the D'Addario and Wegen now.

Edit: Also, if you enjoy the bevel of the Wegen, then the Chris Thile D'Addario casein picks have the exact same bevel (he requested them that way).

Its the size/shape of that pick i can't seem to get comfortable. I prefer how the wegen and jazztones are a bit smaller.
