New Line vs Classic ACA...

[tunis]

I''ve gone through and read most of the old threads on this topic and I understand the consensus is that there is very little visual difference between the two. Still, my question is for those who have experienced both styles first hand:

Would any of you choose one over the other (or to put it another way, NOT choose one) simply because of it''s particular cut style?

Thanks,

Tunis

You would have to check with WF, but I thought they weren''t cutting anymore of the New Line ACAs anymore? Maybe I am wrong, but I thought that was said in a thread somewhere.

Honey22, I think they''ve drastically reduced the numbers of New Line produced due largely to the GIA''s position on painting. There are some still available on their website, however. It appears, too, that WF has produced some stones with properties that lie between Classic and New Line according to what I have read...

Hang in there Tunis, there is the odd veteran PSer that has had experience with both types so someone might be able to chime in who has seen both.

Hi Lorelei, I''m surprised to not have stirred up more passion for this topic. Surely as you say there must be some who feel strongly one way or the other...

Hi Tunis,

I think it is a case of those who have actually seen and compared both types to see this then they can chime in for you! It can be a bit quieter here on weekends, but hang in there - someone who can answer might see this.
