My SW rep (that I didn't choose and had no voice about it) wanted to talk to me about how I was liking my "gear."
I ordered 5 Gravity picks. And proceeded to tell him how thrilled I was with them.
He's never called me since.....
The Holcomb models have a 20" radius. Though I have older core models as well, I was surprised that the Holcomb is really easy and comfortable to play.

My recording gear evolves again. A couple of weeks ago, I tried a Blackstar HT5, going the cheap route and thinking 5 watts would be a really useful amount of sound. Fortunately for me, the clean channel crapped out shortly after plugging the amp in, and 5 watts is PLENTY loud (too loud for me...
