Default SY markers

Im considering purchasing the SU markers. But my experiences with them are brief. I've only been deposed to them through my demos classes. My first thought with them is is that their tips seem to get soft and mushy very quickly. Can anyone give me some feedback on this?
Are they worth the expense? I currently only own watercolor pencils and would like another medium to color with. I truly can't do the copics, so this would be my alternative to that.

Thanks for any help you can offer
Paula

Thank you. I did watch the video.
I guess my only concern at this point is, do the tips break down quickly. My only experience was with markers that had been used for classes, and I have no idea how long they were in use, etc.

Thanks,
Paula

Hi Paula, I have had good luck with my SU! markers. I have been using them in classes for at least 5 years. I do always ask that everyone treat them gently. They're still juicy and the tips are intact.

Thus far, I have replaced my three most used markers - real red, basic black and chocolate chip.
