On another note, I also have a Sensitone Elite Brass (5", not 6.5") and I gotta say that for the price that is a very underappreciated snare. It's not a Black Beauty, but it sure does the job and is a pleasure to tune.

The last day or two, Acros have been going for around $140-150 including shipping.
So would most people say that the acrolite is a better snare than (or as good as) the gretsch new classic or Sensitone? Or just that the acrolite gives you more for your money? It looks like many of you are definitely suggesting the first option.

I'm actually now leaning toward the Senstitone Brass (14x6.5) (although I could still switch back to the New Classic in the next week--have to make my decision by the 12th). The cheapest acro I have seen on ebay has been for $110 with shipping, but it looks like others have had success at finding better deals. So I think I am going to continue to keep my eye out on ebay and craigslist, thinking if I find one in good shape for less than $75, then I'll get it as a secondary snare. From what I have heard from a couple others, I think the acro might be a little dry and quiet for my primary snare.

110 with shipping is still a good deal. I got my 70's Acro shipped at around 130 - 140. I would still go for it.
Oh and the Acro is not quiet especially rim shots.

I do not already have a wood snare. I previously just had the snare from my Pearl Vision set. But I recently upgraded that to a Gretsch New Classic kit (that did not include a snare), so I am upgrading my snare as well and only plan to have one snare drum for the foreseeable future.

Umm, only one snare, eh? Get a block snare, preferably made from Padauk. Seriously, block snares are amazingly versatile. PM me if you are interested.

I'd say my band's music is rock, but definitely not hard rock.
