. Well, according to your preference, a protostar would be great. But raptor has a bit less vibe and can grind 50 percent better. Either is fine, but protostar plays more floaty. Raptor w/o caps is kinda floaty too, nd with caps, it plays like a boulder. If you look back in threads comzring the raptor, raptor is always ideal.
