Its all about the mass for me too. I would much rather have a heavy 24" buck than a 30 incher that's willow horned. Im usually not real picky though. It's kind of like walking into a shoe store and saying...."I wanna see every pair you got".
I have a few dream bucks but my favorite would be a 210 or better typ with long outward sweeping main beams. Love it when it looks like a catchers mit from the front!
