Strymon Bluesky vs Walrus descent

I've heard lots of good things about the Descent and I like the idea of a lot of the settings but I don't know how much I would use them. I currently own a Blue Sky for my main verb. I use the "Favorite" preset all the time for ambient swells and crap like that. Also the Shimmer setting sounds like heaven.

BTW everyone, he said BLUE Sky, not Big Sky. Yes, the Big Sky is the ultimate, but its also about $200 more! Big Sky is overkill for me. Don't get me wrong if someone wants to donate one to me, I'd happily accept! ;-)

Favorite overdrive pedal

I'm a big fan of JHS's stuff. My two current favorite OD pedals are the JHS Morning Glory V4 (based on the Marshall Blues Breaker) and the new Kilt V2 (based on the Bixonic Expandora). I can have up to 4 overdrive stages with just these two and their Red Remote switch. Josh and team are doing a lot of great work recently.
