<SNIP>    So what's the verdict? Should I or shouldn't I?

Absolutely! Bring a couple; For that dark, chicago-blues sound I
always wear a "Pork-Pie", for more progressive stuff, a beret, and a
Stetson or resistol for a country sound.
I prefer the warmer tone of a 4X felt to straw....

Oh, that's just SO JUDGEMENTAL!
