I have been blessed. I play with the the two cues I would choose, given any choice.
My primary cue is an 8-point Gina, given to me by my wife for our 10th anniversary and a recreation of a cue I let pass through my hands as a younger more foolish man.
For our 25th she asked what I wanted and I got a beautiful 5-point Gina, same specs as the other, for my "travel cue." It's supposed to be "plain" but after the ivory joint, elephant ear wrap, ivory butt plate (and matching ivory joint protectors my wife called Ernie to sneak in as an added present), I'm not sure I'd be any less sad if I lost my travel cue in airline baggage.
