Hi Laguiole,

I agree with Mrthe,the classic would be a good choice since you are also getting the tungsten piston.

Actually choose the classic with this kit ;

For bulino you can use both the P.Coggan point/ template and the V70 - green template.

You will also find the R.Baptiste stippling point very useful ;
