Don't want to turn this thread into a product review thread, but I'm looking for a new chest protector for spring. This is my second year and last year I bought a used one from my association which is similar to the Honig's K5C

(Honig's Whistle Stop Online Store - Products)

which is a soft protector, just a little more protection than a catchers vest. I'm looking at either the Wilson Platinum or the Wilson "W" or "WV". The difference in price is approximately 1.5 game fees for me. I'm leaning toward the Platinum, but would like a few opinions. Feel free to send me a private message if you want to keep it out of the thread. Thanks!

Edit: I did mostly 14 y/o and under last year, but am looking to get more JV games this year (next year a few varsity, etc). And while my current vest did a decent job, even in a few 14U games I took some solid shots to it and definitely felt it.
