Re: WHICH THUMB RING TO USE...??
I've never seen the Conn ring get bent into a narrow oval near so many times as I see the King ones all misshapen. The Conn one seems to have more of a semi-circular profile, which seems to be stronger. The King one is nicer looking but seems more flimsy looking. To me. And that is really all I give a damn about, donchaknow...

That above Q & A sequence with Kiltie is one of the principal reasons I left the teaching "profession" 30+ years ago. Computers are much less stressful to instruct.

Hey Bloke.
For me, Conn is much more comfortable. Next best thing to a totally round one.
Conn has my vote. Have them on 3 of my horns.

I vote the 20k Ring, they always felt nicer to me.

Though I prefer King "stuff" and like the look of the King thumb ring better, the Conn 20J/K thumb ring does look more comfy.
