Anyone using Amstel King ficus?

I saw these in a store and finally tracked down the name after 4 months. These to me are much nicer than the typical ficus. Larger leaves, tree style, don't drop leaves as easily indoors.

Anyone here using them?

Seems to be a variety of ficus allie, or close to it - much better than the typical Ficus benjamana.

I'm so sick of Ficus Benjamina. They just don't do well indoors. We have to rotate them out every 6 months.

The Amstel have leaves about twice as wide and long as allie. Great for holding water if I can track them down.
