I could go Woodpecker, Naked Eye or Beyer M160 really...gimme your best advice...

I find the Beyer is rather scooped in the mids compared to the Naked Eye so in that regard, the NE is probably closer to the r121. I do like them both but mostly find myself using the NE. Haven't tried the Woodpecker yet.
