Default Deciding on Chips, feedback wanted

OK,

Just about to pull the trigger on a $600 budget for nice chips for my home game (6-8 players). Decided on all non-denomination, so variety of limit, nolimit, &amp; tourneys can be supported. Four colors should do it:

280 White (most often $1)
160 Red (most often $5)
80 other color (value flexes with game)
80 other color (value flexes with game)
----
600

Have ordered plenty of samples, and have narrowed choices to:

1) Custom ASM clays ($1 ea, several months to ship)

Custom composite nevadajacks ($.95 ea, color lots need to be in 100 increments, offers chip design svcs for fee)
http://www.nevadajacks.net/custom_poker_chips.htm

Non-custom Archetypes ($1 ea, ship fast, could always resell)

I would appreciate feedback on forum and through poll.

Thanks!

I have a set of ASM Home Poker Chips and love them. I still voted for NJ because the wait was just silly long.

Don't buy the Archetypes expecting to resell them down the road. Used (and even some new) Chipco's are only going in the .60-.70 range.

Paulsons are indeed nice, but don't see the non-denomination, and/or custom option. Buying sufficient chips for .25 - $25 value ranges would blow my $600 big time. The alternative would be to making change all the time, or using a chip for other than its marked value, neither of which sound good to me.

If I had just NL, or narrow range of limit games, then Paulsons would be at/near top of list.

Go with the ASM's. I don't like Archetype much.

If you want to save a few bucks, checkout the group buy section on Chiptalk.net

There are two TR King buys going on, one with edge spots, one w/o. Great chips!

I chose the Paulson's Pharaoh's over custom ASM's. They are available in non denom. My second choice would be ASM.
