Official FIDE Chess Set

As expected, the unfortunate "official" FIDE set - the clunky one with the really ugly knight - is being used at the Candidates Tournament.  I had hoped we'd seen the last of this set in the last WCC match. It's purported to be based "on the proportions of classical Greek architecture and the classic Staunton design"....Makes me want to run out and buy one and throw money at FIDE and AGON....not!

I have one, I rather enjoy playing tournaments with it.

How do you find the stability of this set? Is the knight top-heavy and a bit wobbly? Or pretty stable when moving around the board?
