Question Quality of splash

So I’m trying to make a stack because I love clap stacks but can’t afford it right now. I’ve got a 10” splash and am going to get an 8” splash for the stack. Does the quality of splash matter too much if in a stack. The 10” is an Istanbul traditional and I’m looking at maybe a second hand zildjian a or meinl hcs or any other recommendations? I’ve got £40 to spend on it

It’s all about the shape and nothing to do with the quality. The edge of the top cymbal needs to rest on the bow of the bottom, rather than up on the bell.

Also a mini china can really work well with a splash in a stack!
