herbie's mat or Funk Firm Achromat

Any one compare these two turntable mats? What are their sonic differences. I have a Rega P5 and am thinking of a mat other than the stock felt one.

My favorite, (so far) is the Living Voice Mystic Mat, with the Funk Firm Achromat a close second. I have a Herbies and really didn't like it very much. IMHO, between the two you have listed, I think the Achromat is better.

Also as a side note Herbie has around 5-10 different mats, you should check out his site.
