A brush that finally I don't recommend: 830.

Too bad to hear that your 830 is not working out for you.

I have both, and, the SOC has much better backbone than the 830. The SOC has a 2mm bigger knot, is denser, and its loft is only 2mm higher than the 830, so it's not surprising that it has more backbone. The SOC also has a "special" grade of hair. If you're trying to choose between these two brushes, I would definitely recommend the SOC. The handle is fantastic, as well (though the 830 handle is also nice).

Thank you, Peter.

I think SOC does not have rich backbone, but just enough.
SOC is so good at painting.
(much better than omega 11137, maybe due to a denser knot?)
Maybe 830 is too floppy for me.
Save bucks for another different brushes.
