I have a PJ2, Mine seems bigger...Ha....No really, I like it a lot. Compared to my Rooney, and Thater...It's my fav, it has more backbone that the Thater...Yeah, it does...and it's not as dense as the Rooney, It's right inbetween for me...I like all my brushes, They're all good for something...but ultimately, you have to be happy with your brush. To the Poster thats not, Send it back before you use it, if your not happy...
