There are a few reasons I haven't went to the X2... Mainly, I'd have to rethink/rework all my recipes. Many have ONE DROP of a color added, and I have no way of splitting a drop into halves, surely not consistently, batch to batch. If it was "hard and fast fact" that X2 was 2-times standard, I could just use twice as much plastic to get the same ratio, but from recent posts, it doesn't seem like it's flat-out double-strength. While X2 is truly killer, standard colorant per-drop is less color, so each drop means less color change, which, to me, means precision, especially in smaller mixes. Considering what I see in people (myself included), most fisherman don't want to settle for "close" to a color, they (we) seem to want THAT color that they caught on. This is just my thinking and reasoning, and why I truly hope Jason-and-Family continue to carry the non-X2 colorant. I don't really want to have to buy from anyone but my Bro...I'm not sure if "the other guys" are God's Children.
