    For the sake of about $1 a piece why not get one of each a - 015 and a +045 then you are covered and only paying one freight charge if you have bought the wrong size.

    Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

    Yup, that is what I've decided to do just to be safe.
