...right now I own an Omega Stripey brush. It cost me about $30 or so. I am curious what will be the difference of the Omega Stripey and the Simpson G3 Eagle Best Badger brush being mentioned above as a possible group buy? Not difference in price but performance. I have begun wondering what a "better" brush would be like. Can you help me out? Just trying to figure out if the difference in cost is worth it. I am very interested...

Well... The G3 will be huge. If you want a smaller brush, stay away from it. Far away.
If by performance, you mean ability to make and apply lather, there is no difference. As far as luxury, I love Simpsons Best Badger. It (in my opinion) far outstrips Rooney Super.
For trying it out on a budget, I say go for the Simpsons Case. It is a lot of brush for $56 as it rocks with soaps and creams, bowl and face lathering, and has a travel tube.
The Swiss Army Knife of brushes, in my opinion.

At 23mm the G-3 is hardly huge 
23mm is huge when you are selling off your 20mm brush because it's too big

There's no objective measure here. I think 23mm is probably on the big side of average, leaning toward "large" but "huge" to me is a 26mm Shavemac, for example.

It's bigger? That's good news for me. What other differences will there be? Softer? Backbone? Holding the lather?
