Best Size Domino XLs?

[darita]

OK...I'm picking up a Domzilla today, but have to order the Dominos.  I have the DF500 Assortment already and it has 8mm and 10mm dominos already, so I'm thinking of just getting the 12 and 14mm assortment.  Thing is, are those good length and a good buy or should I go for the long 12 and 14mm sticks, with a 14mm cutter and just cut to need?  Will the systainer assortment come in handy?

I got both XL assortments .. I just think it's a handy way to store them.

I don't think you can go wrong buying the lengths of Domino stock - particularly SIPO.

I just bought the long 12 and 14 mm sipo and the 14mm cutter and use the boxes that came with the XL so i could keep everything in one place and not have to stock two types of dominos.

I also found that after using the XL for a while is that i end up using quite a few different lengths because of all the different depth settings that are available.

I have the Systainer assortment, but find that I really just use the sticks and cut to the length I want.  The dominos are large enough that those in the systainer haven't been enough for typical projects.  If I had to do over I would not have purchased the assortment.
