I have both the featherweight 243 and the Nanna Acorn, both sandblast.. The 243 has a very small bowl, I use it for stronger tobaccos. The Nanna Acorn is very light weight, has a decent capacity, and the fit and finish is excellent. Both pipes are excellent pipes and both smoke very well. I smoke them both a lot. If I had to buy them all over again I would. I'd get the Nanna first though.
