Kryston Incognito

Hi, does anyone know if this has changed since Kryston was taken over? I know it used to be well regarded as a v good flouro but apparently many of kryston products have changed and not for the better,
 
The spool I bought does appear different from original, a bit more ‘wiry’ IMO and seemed to fray easy. It didn’t give me confidence in it so bought some ESP Ghost which has behaved nicely so far!
 
Not only did it change, but the spool size reduced from 50 ME to 20 ME and the price went up!!! I sent them an email inquiring why this was the case, as I'm a huge fan of the original stuff. I didn't get a reply, so decided not to risk it/be ripped off.

After asking for recommendations on here, in terms of alternatives, I opted for this one and I've been happy with it:

Shimano Aspire Fluorocarbon

Key Features Spool length: 50m Colour: Clear Diameters: 0.12mm - 0.4mm Breaking Strengths: 1.5kg - 12.5kg Material: Fluorocarbon Made in Japan Packaging: Carton Box

I use diameter 0.28 mm and 0.30 mm; the stated breaking strain to diameter is different to Incongnito.
