I remember seeing a post of yours around here somewhere where you said you didn't particualrly care for the Air Norton 7 for legato. Wht was that, exactly? I'm guessing based on its EQ curve that it has a lot to do with the fact that it's not a particularly bright pickups, so it has a smoother attack and legato runs tend to blur a bit, but that wouldn't be such a big issue for me as I've got a fairly crisp legato attack so I think note definition wouldn't suffer too much.

Is there another reason you didn't like it? Maybe it's undercompressed or something...?
