Question: Should I get the Sabian B8 20" Ride or the Zildjian ZHT 20" Ride?

I have not played both types, but have used the Sabian B8 and did not like it...
I have a full set of Sabian AA and HH cymbals and like them a lot! I also have various Zildjian, Paiste and UFIP cymbals that I bought for their particular sound. All are good, but none are from the budget lines.
The B8 model came once with a rental kit I used, and while I got through the gig with it, I did not like the sound. By process of elimination, I would say get the Zildjian... but you're probably best off going to a store where you can try out both.
I know that Sabian has audio samples of the various models on their website, maybe Zildjian does too. Check it out.
