Both of the new ones are great! They have fine tips, are very sharp, and they're comfortable for me to use.

The only thing I don't like is that the protective cap on the F & P didn't stay on and the Clover just had a flimsy plastic sheath. I remedied the problem by buying some silicone knitting needle tip cover thingies (somebody online suggested this) and I use those. It works well.
