The 60 piece pro set has this advantage, and also DISadvantage.

It is full of duplicates. This means that you will be set for picks for quite a while. A number of the picks are non-handled though, so this should be a consideration.

Also, unless they have old stock, the new HPC NDPK60 case is smaller, neater and quite nice.

The PIP2000 set on the other hand are all handled picks, and it also comes with a 4 piece set of some of the best extractors on the market.

There are pick profiles in the PIP2000 set that do not appear in ANY other HPC set, and you should consider this as well.

If you already have a standard HPC set, I would purchase the PIP2000 set, and work from there.

If you want a balanced set, look for the pro-mixer set. A very good mix of HPC's standard and 2000 series picks.

Thanks Romstar

see thats the thing the only picks I own from HPC are the Computer Generated ones.

all my others are from Southord.

Majestic computer picks too.

The HPC 2000 series are very nice, and the extractors that come in the set are great as well.

They are more than good (thin) enough for euro keyways (I also use Majestics in euro keyways and they do fit!)

If you can afford them, get them, they give a lot of feedback. (sometimes too much - IMHO)
sledgehammers make excellent back up picks!
