They are Coopers but I guess they tried to make them a bit more decorative by painting them black, a few have been replaced by unpainted OVXs which doesn't look at all good.
I don't really care for GEs, they don't have many options and don't come in unpainted. I like AEL the best, I would use the 115, 125 and 327 personally.
I was rather confused right when this site started, I didn't quite realize it was different to LG.net, I had only just become active on LG at the same time. I was about to join just after the site started but I think I had to go out, then Ian asked (and explained) about the site in late December, that's when I joined. I joined LG in August 2009.
