Ouch...yeah, I know what you mean.  

The 2.0 tends to be the one I've used most on them and Berliners etc.  The 3.8 and 4.0 are also highly useful on Victor Scrolls from 1925-1932 or so and also HMV and other non-laminated UK pressings for crackle reduction.  I bought my 4.0 on that suggestion then got a 3.8 included with a collection I bought a couple of years ago, not much difference between the two.
