RedbaaronSeems to shade nicely, but then again everything shades on Tomoe River paper. I would need some good reason to jump on these inks at this price point.
These are a good deal if you like the inks, especially with the fee shipping. Plus they can be hard to find online.
I really like Nurebairo. It's a heavy, rich black that dries with a sheen. I haven't tried the other ink colors.

RedbaaronNo doubt these are well behaved and high quality, but I have never used them and shipping is not free for me. So at 25$ price point per bottle, I need something more to grab my attention as I already have many good and well behaved inks and am not the one to collect inks for novelty sake. Colors are okay, but nothing inspiring.
And a more accurate Nurebairo sample from reviewer crahptacular that is closer to my own experience with the ink (though I get a slightly more purple hue than shown here): http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/308594-nurebairo-kyo-no-oto/
