Does anyone have experience with one or both of these mini snares?

I'm primarily interested in the 6 inch ones, but jot sure which one would be better

I'm looking to finally get a ride cymbal more suitable to my tastes...

Currently on the fence between an Istanbul xist agop dry dark 22" ride and a Mienl byzance 22" big apple dark. I think the Mienl would maybe be more versatile, but the Istanbul might be drier, darker, nd more crashable, all of which I like.

Anyone have any experience with these cymbals, or any suggestions?

I really enjoy quieter jass/fusion playing, but also very aggressive sounds inspired by Zach Hill... which is a big part of my indecision, as I would ideally like a ride that could work in both of these contexts
