Predator Arcos 1's v 2's

[Mm2]

I just bought an old Brunswick Bristol table that's being delivered to my house soon and getting Simonis cloth installed on it. I have some okay pool balls already, Aramith Premiums w/ measle cue balls, but I have a chance to get the Arco's 1's balls set for a good price. Has anyone played with both the first and second versions and found one to be superior in any way? Or, is there not a lot of difference in them but maybe a preference for one of the sets' colors and design? Thank you!

1's were made in Korea by Cosmos and the 2's are made by Aramith. New ones use same formula as Aramith Tournaments. Very little info on the 1's but what i've heard is they played fine. I think Oscar Dominguez at Hard Times Sacramento got some of the 1's before they switched makers. You might contact him on FB.
