There is very few to possibly none very good DS pbt out there. It just isn't great to work with. I love the caps that come off of leopolds which should be mistel, but they're no means the PBT version of GMK. MTNU is coming out soon somewhat possibly curious to see that. KAT recently has got a doubleshot version now which looks alright, but I have yet to see one at a meet. KAT feels nice, but they have a lot of issues with fullfilment and QC.

I'm personally a fan of my PBTFans basin set. The text legends can put off some people but it's really the feel and durability I expect from PBT.

Monokei has a good option. They also have "recessed" stems which make them much closer to Cherry's profile.

Does PBTFans work with Cherry profile?
