So what's better than a 10' Morgan or 8' Del Carpio?

My money is on Del Carpio...
Re: So what's better than a 10' Morgan or 8' Del Carpio?
Yeah, strange how the Del Carpio looks more like a Morgan than the actual Morgan, at least more like a vintage 80's Morgan. Why do the knots keep getting closer together? Pretty soon they'll be touching...

Bernardo is such a class act too. He asked me to send some pics of comparison to see how his craft stands up to the Morgan (took a bunch for him).
Gotta tell you guys, he sent an email once saying the whip would be finished by the end of the weekend or something and he'd send me a tracking number when it's done but nothing came. I wrote him back asking if I missed it and he said:
'Hey Charles,
Yes, the strands in the overlay stretched a bit too much, and became too narrow for my taste. So, keeping in mind my high standards for quality and attention to detail, I decided to cut a new overlay from another skin. The new one looks perfect. I will begin braiding the new overlay tomorrow. Your whip will be ready by Monday. I'll put it in the mail on Tuesday. I'm sorry for the delay.
Thanks!
Bernardo'
The fact that he decided to go against his schedule because it was less than perfect to him really impressed me. Could not be more satisfied with the 8 footer and the Morgan 10 came about 3 weeks sooner than they said it would so woo hoo on that as well!!
