Yes, had both, still have the HB and I love it, it's a bit on the heavy side but the tones and finish are brilliant. The JD is as everyone says and it's good but I prefer the thud and clarity of the HB but it's very subjective isn't it?
My 'like' might be your poison, I even bought the HB 50's too and I can't really fault that either.
ICONIC why did you bin your JD?
