I decided to try the WGS ET65 in the wide body combo of my 22.
I previously had the WGS lead 80 clone loaded there.
To my ears, the 65 is warmer and softer feeling; more milk chocolate to the LD80's dark chocolate.
The LD80 has more volume, is tighter over-all, more hard-rock with a touch of metal, more "modern" sounding.
The ET65 has a less "heavy" bottom end which I think helps to expose the mids more. The highs seem to be more diffused.
The D'Lite continues to rule.

The ET-65 sounded much better.

Here is a short clip of a ET-65 that I did with a tele bridge pup into bright#1 vol 12, tone 12 on a 5E3 style amp: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=600643&content=songinfo&songID=6676014

Nice and swampy.
I've got a blue in my tweed deluxe now but that ET65 sounds like it should.
