On acoustic, i still prefer the Ultex which have an attack that i would describe as smooth while the Adamas picks seem to sound a bit plinky on my acoustic (I usual finger pick on that guitar anyway).
I realized this too, recently ... As you said, the Adamas gets extremely "plinky" on acoustic... So I switched back to the Dunlop .88 max grip. I had been messing around with a lot of acoustic recording lately and was really unhappy with my tone ( or the noise i call my playing), all around whether DI or mic'd ( ESP with a stereo pair of condensers) .. And then it hit me...DUH..it was the pick.... The thinner pick def gives a softer , more pleasant attack to my ears...The hard plastic sound that was really irritating anywhere near the 8-10k range is gone, but the flutter of the .88 sounds like a card in a tire spoke ..
I think the Adamas may still reign supreme for live stuff because of the increased volume and brighter tone benefits though...
Just my thoughts....
And what If everyone added a unique pick when they sent it back out .... That would probably be a seriously sweet collection of picks after awhile...
