I really love the Kromski wheels -- I have a Minstrel. It's a bit finicky, and what they say about Kromskis guzzling oil IS true, but it handles beautifully and I've spun everything from laceweight up to superbulky on it. I tried the Sonata at my LYS, and it was nice, but I don't need a travel wheel and the Minstrel was the one that really spoke to me.
