The bar has been raised a great deal, but not universally across all colors... A top end grizzly of today is superior to just about any other color and probably a couple grades on some colors with the company that grades with gold, silver and bronze.

I am a little more demanding than Buddy I guess my hackle tubs are huge and I have three of them, all full... Dyed, natural, and hen. I do use them as photo backgrounds with a lot of the studio stuff I do... and they are perfect for that if you have the EXACT right color. But all get used for flies.
