Upgrading my climbing line

Yes they are. The calamine just feels a little different. Might just be in my head.

Different types of abuse over time lead to different feeling ropes, as well as newer ones behaving very differently... I believe this has been my experience, but my taste changes faster than my climbing lines, so it could also be in my head.

Aren't they the same line just different colours? To me they seem like exact construction.
Bounce isn't too bad I suppose. I only weight 147lbs. I'm hesitant on static lines and don't much like the feel in hand. I really dig the look of the Imouri (what's worth doing if you don't look good!)
Thanks for the opinions.

They are not the same they are a different make up. And imori is a smidge fatter.

I'm not a big guy either, but I can be a bit picky about how things feel sometimes. It was an awesome rope, excellent durability.
 
Imori was my first line. It was a bit bouncy, but you get used to it and use it for advantage, like dropping into your saddle a little befor pulling yourself upright when using SRT. I would not compare it to tachyon- my least favorite rope on the market yet. Imori has a great feel in the hand: soft, larger, light, and a little "scratchy", which contributed even more to its ability to be gripped. In some ways I miss using it, especially after describing it right now. It's like my first car, but maybe even more personal. Still have it stored away. Can't stand to throw it away.

Anyway, snappiness aside, it's a great line. (That works two ways.)

'Snappiness' good one. I appreciate the info. I think I may take the plunge. When I first touched the Imouri it felt wooly to me. Kinda liked it. Giggity. Grip is good. I liked tachyon for a long time but it's so temperamental and you can't natural crotch it.
Thanks for the info everyone!
