6115 stainless steel frets?

[WindsurfMaui]

Does anyone use the 6115 stainless steel frets? How do you like them? I usually use a 6150 buy on my next neck I was considering  the 6115 stainless. I am wondering how people like them, do they feel very different? The have a different crown shape so I am asking how people feel about them. Thanks.

I've installed them for others so I stock the wire, but I don't use them. Compared to 6150s I don't really notice any difference. But, I'm used to 6100s on all my guitars so I've developed a slightly lighter touch that works out well for all the "tall" frets. I'm sure I could live with them quite easily and without complaint, but I like all my necks to be as similar to each other as possible outside of wood species and appearance, so it's always 6100s on my stuff.

I encountered the 6115's in stainless on my second-hand canary and ebony neck, and I like'em so much I won't buy anything else if I have a choice.  Not as wide as the super jumbo 6100's but about the same height.  I like 'em plenty.  If you don't have a strong preference for one size over another,  give 'em a whirl.

Nice thing about the crown on the 6115's is that some of the profile has already been done for you. 
Levelling/crowning/polishing should take a tad less time on this profile compared to some others.

I'm a former 6100 fret guy. Once I tried the 6115 stainless frets I have converted. I do not care to play anything else. They have plenty of height and my fingers do not hang up on them at all, which sometimes happens to me with 6100's.

No experience with 6150, but I can vouch for 6100 being rough on your car's suspension system.
