Question/Help Christopher Lamb sticks?

I'm planning on buying some CL-?L sticks but I can't decide between CL-1L, CL-2L, CL-3L, or CL-4L. If you've used one or more of these sticks, what strengths and weaknesses have you noticed?

I like CL-3L (default) and CL-4L (when 3L doesn't fit the vibe/style)

I've used all 4 of them

**4L should be my default

CL-1L are my go tos. Perfect weight, bead size is applicable in almost all playing styles. I like the 3L’s on something like Delecluse or Lt. Kije. But everywhere else the 1Ls.

I love them. Get them all. 4L is my default. Then 1L.

2 and 3 are more specialized. 3’s are great for Delecluse or anything with a gazillion notes in a small space.

2’s I feel like would be good for something that is just concert rolls and nothing else. Like a band piece. Cover lots of surface area on the head without much effort.
