Can't Decide: Ary 500 German vs. Carbow?

I am deciding between two bows and weighing the pros and cons. I really like the Ary 500 because it just sounds great with my bass. I have tried several bows and nothing sounds as good as this Ary. Its tone is rich compared to the Carbow. But I like the Carbow because its easier to play and a little lighter. Its got a good tone also and because its a Carbow. I guess this is a totally subjective thing, but what do you think would be most important: great sound that just makes it my bass come alive in a little heavier bow that might be a little more difficult to play or a nice, solid Carbow that handles nicely and also has an good sound, but may not sound quite as good as the Ary.

Any comments appreciated.

I would go with the bow that makes your bass wake up and say "allo" over a bow that just sounds "good."

But that is just me...

You Are Right About This

Don, thanks for your reply. After thinking about it and talking to several people I came to the same conclusion. The Ary 500 bow just really makes my bass come alive and gets me moving along on my practice goals because it sounds so good!
