Clear Day Cables Double Shotgun vs. Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval

For many years I've loved my Clear Day Double Shotgun speaker cables, but recently I moved my components to the side of my speakers rather than between them, and now the 8 foot cables are too short.  Sadly, Paul Ludati passed away and I can no longer order custom lengths from him, so I'm considering the Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval cables, which are available in 12 foot lengths.  
Anyone here compared these two cables?  Given that they both contain similar silver wire I'm hoping that their sound qualities are comparable.  Of course the A+ wires have wonderful reviews, but I'd still like to hear from anyone who's compared them.

Thanks for your input!

@adg101 Thanks for the recommendation.
I will check them out.  They price out about the same as the Analysis Plus cables.

I used Clear Day for several years then moved on to Analysis Solo Crystal Oval 8 (copper).As much as I still like the Clear Days the AP cables are in a different league.So much more of everything - detail,timbre,palpability,layering,etc.I've actually had to put some effort into finding better ics to send them a  quality signal from upstream.They take a very long time to break in.There's a long thread here about our trials and tribulations:-)Best of luck to you and please post updates as you make decisions!

I've posted a pair of 8' Clear Day Double Shotgun for sale. Set for Bi-wire set-up. One pair Spades and the other Bananas. One pair unused and the other barely used.

@fritzjurg, are willing to separate the two sets, for anyone wanting a single pair?
