For me, the beauty is exactly the opposite.
Mother Nature has limits, which modern technology can abundantly overcome.

I have not tried the Dandelion, but it is very pleasant with those colors.
For my tastes, the synthetics with sweeter fibers are better used in custom handles.
This allows for a more accurate setting.
In order not to lose backbone, given the ease with which these fibers open, I prefer to have a shorter loft than the factory settings.
Then, according to your preferences, build a handle of adequate length.
I don't use the bowl, so for me on average 50mm of tuft and 65mm of handle are absolutely perfect.
