PacBay Model M ceramic guides?

Gentlemen, has anyone being using the Pac Bay titanium high frame guides with the zirconia ring?

If so, overall impression with regards to ring durability since the rings arent depressed; ring smoothness; frame foot stamping, guide quality etc?

I have a few new clients wanting other titanium high frame option with ceramic ring.

Thx

Fon

Before Shimano bought G Loomis they used Pac Bay guides and other components on their rods. The M framed stainless guides for decades, I've had good luck with their titanium guides with or without ceramic rings for 10 years or so. Ring quality of their guides have never been an issue.
