I just got a Mezz Sneaky Pete MSP2-P and I am really impressed. I'd said above that I had reservations about Mezz because I'd heard they have a thick butt, but I called Mezz USA and found out the opposite is true, so I ordered one. The quality of the finish is top tier. The United joint is a very snug fit and perfectly machined. At 19.5 ounces it is balanced to where it feels lighter than my other cues that are actually slightly heavier. I sold my Keith Josey Plain Jane recently and while it was a great cue, I prefer my Pechauer Pro and now my Mezz, which is my new favorite.
