In which case I'd be looking out for old ones on Ebay.

In fact I'd be buying used cymbals anyway.
There are tons of auctions on Ebay, old Paiste, old Zildjian, slightly used Sabians.
A lot sound better than the latest crop of new cymbals......and they are all better value.
Seems to me, the problem here is an uncertainty about which cymbals to buy.
No one on a forum can take the place of you playing lots of cymbals and buying the ones that sound best to you.
I'm not a fan of replicating a well known drummers' set up FWIW.
