I have personally have never played Paiste cymbals, Though I have heard that they tend to crack easily. I have been using Sabain XS cymbals and I got a complete set including a hard case for a steal! So far these cymbals have holding up well,but I can guess what it come down to is your playing style. You might want to consider the Paiste cymbals as the price is right, I am just saying what I have heard about them.
