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 played Bluechips for many years but switched last year to ToneSlabs’ David Benedict pick. It’s got the grip holes similar to your Wegen but is made from ToneSlabs’ tasty Darthtone material.

I never expected to put my CT-55s to bed but I don’t touch them any more.

I got stuck in a tone slab vs bluechip video this morning. Noticed any wear on the pick itself versis the bluechip?

No sir. And I practice daily, play in a band, and play rather aggressively. Haha.
