I have the Wick and a Humes & Berg Stonelined 199 Mic-A-Mute. The H&B is what I use 99% of the time, it's totally fine and I like the sound. Unlike my tenor Stonelined cups, it doesn't have any bad dead zones. But on classical cup obligations (it's been years!) I use the Wick.

I wouldn't mind having a nicer cup mute or two, but the Wick and H&B work well enough.

The mic-a-mute is what isn't working for me. The whole mute feels dead everywhere.

The DW is fine. I also just got a Wallace. Mute was cheap. Shipping was the same price as the mute. Trigger and pedal range sound great. As others mentioned, though, its pretty heavy.
