I got in on that deal, plus got the PDF version of "Royal Road to Card Magic". Sweet... Now I just need to get a couple of black decks from someone...

I think I got the last red deck.....in fact maybe the last deck period.

Is there a difference between the Legends and Exquisites as far as stock and feel go?

The Exquisites are slightly better. And the blue Exquisites are slightly better than the reds! This is what Bill Kalush himself said about them.

The Legends (assuming we're talking V2s here) and the Exquisites are definitely different with in terms of their stock/feel.
With regards to which are "better"... I'd say that's down to individual preference and what sort of card work the person does. I initially preferred the Exquisites, but over the past 3 months, I've taken more of a liking to the Legends.
From what I remember, the Exquisites felt very very slightly thinner than the V2 Legends, and they were slightly more flexible. As well as being stiffer, the Legends have a slicker coating (I've heard some say they feel more "oily"), and so they fan slightly easier. Legends tend to last longer also.
My guess would be that most magicians and performers would prefer the Exquisites, where as the Legends will take most people a little more time getting used to (if they've been using only USPCC cards till then) and will probably be a better choice for playing poker with.

I'd call that a pretty accurate assessment. I'd be interested in seeing the aging characteristics of the Exquisites. I know I have Legends over a year old with better handling than new.
