Tricones sound (to me) a bit tinny and a bit too refined. Single cones just sound plain dirty :D
I'm not too keen on the top cover for tricones either, can't put my finger on why it doesn't look right to me, I think it might be the hand rest.
Sollophonic - I just had a look on his site for yours (as I can't see the pics), that looks like a lot of guitar for the money.
