You are simply seeing the preferences of most of the members here. Like any other of the inks discussed here, the Lysons 
have their strengths and weaknesses. I used them for quite some time, all of the sets, before the Piezo inks came out. They 
are good inks, but have some problems that knock them out of the running for many people. On the other hand they do 
some things that the pigment sets don't, so they definitely have their place. It sounds like you have found a good use for 
them, there's no reason not to stick with them if they suit your needs and you like your prints.
