Okay, You've managed to find some extra money and you want to buy some dry fly hackle. You can buy a neck or a saddle(equal grade), no other option. Now, forget for a moment which offers the most feathers or possibility to tye more flies in a couple of given sizes, or that one has a greater range of sizes, or that one is easier to use than the other, etc. In other words, forget every positive thing about one or the other, and make your decision on this and this alone: Which one offers the best dry fly hackle feather and why?

This might get interesting.
