Armstrong "Float Fire-82"

If it were not enough of a challenge keeping my "90" Bullseye, Wasser,and Urob. separate from my "96" Spectrum and Urob. now I see Armstrong has introduced "Float Fire 82" to be compatible with "all" float.
I'm always glad to see more choice being offered but this will make keeping all this stuff separated even more difficult.
Has anyone tried this COE-82 (+/- 3) ?

See the "Announcement" center of the page. No solid colors

I got my Float fire sample set on Friday. It looks to me like the color is a paint or enamel applied to the surface. The colors are bright and clear, but I was hoping for solids, not streakys. I think they are a little expensive too, but that cost would probably be offset by the inexpensive float.
My two cents....

Hmm, this might be good glass to do that Fenton thing with 3/8" strips layed up on their side to get a basket weave effect.
