Hammer suggestions revisited

[AlliedPianoCraft]

I just rebuilt an SF-10 and used Abel hammers and I was very pleased with the results. I use Ronsen hammers almost exclusively, but I think the SF-10 needs a really strong hammer to bring out all that it's capable of producing. I didn't want to go through all the work of bringing up the tone with the Ronsen.

Hi, all.  I am about to replace the hammers on a Baldwin SF10 that has had the hammers filed about 2 years ago.  It helped for awhile, and now it sounds like a tin can again (the player's words).  It has the jangling duplex sounds from the front duplexes in the killer range.
    I am wondering if Ronson Bacons would be the best choice, or the Wurzen's?  I guess the question is to voice up, or voice down?  The piano is in a large church, and needs a little "bite".  
    Do you think the Bacons will come into the sound we want, or should we start with something a little firmer to start with?
