Oh yeah....... I forgot to post my thoughts on the long vs. short ribbons. I tested out modded 205 vs. modded RSM5 on guitar cabinets in a wide variety of tones / amps / guitars....

Although the 205 is still my favorite if I had to choose only one, for most aggressive amp sounds, I prefered the RSM5/Fathead style ribbon. For jazzier or clean sounds, the 205 is equal or sometimes prefered, but once the high gain stuff set in, the "short" ribbons took over. My opinion. I may have some clips if anyone is interested..... Post here and I'll try to put them up.
