I'm looking to get a good (but not too expensive) set of chisels.
I've done all the research I can do on the web and magazines.
I've narrowed my choices to 2:

The woodriver are $72 after woodcraft coupon and the narex are $60.
The narex were given a "best value" recommendation by Fine Wood Working issue #200.
The woodriver set comes with 2 extra chisels and they use a stronger socket chisel design.
I am also swayed by the beautiful bubinga handles of the woodriver set.
What really sucks is that the 8 piece woodriver set was $50 before Christmas, but I missed that.
Do you guys have any experience with either or both of the chisels and a recommendation?
