It is a great spread. They are all different enough and really good that whenever I hop on one I think it is amazing. Then I ride another one and it is amazing too. I do suggest a fixed gear for everyone. Had one in my stable for 17 years. At one point I did not have one and it was very quickly missed. Geared low with some wide bars they are amazing. Just rode mine with some 30mmm tires on single track and fire roads and it was a blast.
