recommendation on new brush

I used AQ carbon fiber brush (looks the same as Audio-Technica, sleevecity, etc), but in my hands carbon fiber brushing vinyl produces sooo much static that even double-sided Scotch cannot keep felt mat on the platter when I flip the record. I preferred "Hunt E.D.A. Mark 6 Brush" (same as SuperExstatic)

Then I bought this beauty:

The only brush which works AND (in my hands) removes static during hot'n'dry months. I LOVE it! Cheaper, smaller, and not as ugly as the one mentioned by by Mike Fremer:

I use VPI 16.5 to clean records, totally agree with Mike F. (based on my own sad experience!) that in the long run wet brush without vacuuming is a bad idea for your collection.

I also have this:

bought it years ago from MusicDirect but, frankly, I am afraid to use it. Packaging says "no adhesive residue" but a few Amazon reviewers disagree.

I wish I bought NittyGritty. When I flip record on VPI I know that just-cleaned side picks up some dirt from the platter. No comments from me about Last, I used it on a few records, then got lazy.
Wish someone would come up with digital equivalent of LPs (MQA???), but as it stands now there is no way to digitize even my CD collection! All the tips I see for digitizing classical music are too time-consuming or just plain stupid. And it is soo easy, just add a few more fields to the software so that we can have Composer+Work+Orchestra+Conductor+Performer+Chorus/soloists for opera. But NO, they are too busy making another DAC in a bulletproof case!
