Had quite a few types since the mid 2000's, when the choice was quite limited and the density was more than it appears to be now.
The high density in comparison to natural cork made the handle weight significantly higher.
Things have changed over the last five years with larger varieties of patterns becoming available.
I've used most and have a reasonable amount of stock and types.
Good to 'beef' up potential wear areas.

I use these (F/Spirit Hi S SU, notionally 1.75lb) for a lot of my Middle Severn sessions, and I've been very pleased with the cork.
