I emailed a friend of mine and here was his reply:

I play Stagg cymbals exclusively and have several rides that you might like. They just sent me a new 21" that is nice and I have a 22 ride with rivets thats cool. Stagg offers many large rides even up to a 32"!!!
When I was at Stanton's studio I played a killa Bosphorus ride..Its a 22 in his Signature line. I also like many of the Zildjian Constantinople series, but they are very pricey. (around $500)

Hope it helps to give you a place to start.

If you think a 200 dollar symbol sounds better than a more recommended 600 dollar one get it.

Yeah, but the brands are numerous. Going to a single store would only guaruntee you being able to hit a couple of cymbals. It's also important to mention that the reason he came here might actually be that a music shop isn't close enough (or maybe even big enough) to make a trip like that worth it.
peace out,
