My GF fell in love with this set the moment she saw it. When I saw it was SP, I went in for a full ANSI. I am a late-80's kid so this definitely hits the nostalgia button nicely for me.
Can anyone describe the DSS profile a little bit? Pros and cons / feel vs SA/DSA/OEM? (I've never tried Cherry)
This definitely counts toward her Christmas gifts right?
DSS is basically DSA with a sculptured profile. That is: if you look at the set from above, it looks like DSA but from the side each row has an angle, including a slight negative slope on the bottom three rows. The following image gives a good sense:

As far as I know, this is the first community GB for a DSS profile set, so there isn't a ton of community feedback and response to it. I mostly just think it looks cool, but without the flatness of DSA that a lot of folks don't like. :)
Bonus pic that I shot the other day:

I want that monitor. That is an awesome prop you made.

I'd say DSS is a spherical version of Cherry (Cherry being cylindrical). I posted a visual comparison in another thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93584.msg2769119#msg2769119) a while back. And right above my post there is a picture comparing Signature Plastics' various profiles, including DSS and DSA.
