    Anyone have impressions of Lampizator Horizon vs. Pacific ?

    Went first to Baltic 3, then tried a Pacific and I was amazed, I didn't think it could get any better, then I was conned into a Horizon trial, it never left ! Total Heaven with Horizon. It is head & shoulders better than Pacific. But I didn't do any tube rolling until Horizon.
