For what it's worth my experience is the same as Mini-geek. I reckon MS Red spots are the best all rounder.

I have heard some very disturbing stories about later production cones with the M-Parts logo on them!

All cones ARE NOT EQUAL.

Just be aware, that Red Spots are approx double the spring rate of the standard items.

I'm not saying they are rubbish, they are not, likewise the Mini Spares Evo, a good quality cone, but they have around 20% increase in spring rate.

Here's some comparison rates;-
