If you really want one of these sets, be patient, and stay on-line. I am afraid you are not alone waiting for some sets to go on sale, though.
In my experience after I have been using cherry profile for three years, the use of the DSA profile did not give me an instant gratification, however as I have been using my Macross set for some weeks now, I would not go back to the cherry profile anymore. So this upcoming Granite set would be my daily driver for some years to come.
I really like the look of the Macross set, the large and clear legends, the way the set looks on my keyboard, the colors. I just hope the legends in the Granite were as bold, and nice as the Macross ones are. Of course sublimated legends will be different than DS ones, but I'd like to see them to come as nice as the DS ones are. Besides, the nice icons the Matt designed for the modifiers are way too cool to let this set passes by.
