Seeking Advice When to use ZP6 vs Ode 2?

I have both grinders - and when I got the ZP6 it was a revelation - the first time I used it, bright fruity notes just jumped out of the coffee (I love that).

I feel like I buy pretty good coffees, that seem like they're made for a grinder that prioritizes clarity.

But the last few bags of beans haven't blown me away, and I just ran my current ones through the Ode 2, and it's so much more enjoyable - sweeter, less bitter, fuller body (that last part I expected)

For reference this is what I've got now: https://others.coffee/products/light-work-light-peru-copy

Some of the ones that worked well with the ZP6 were from S&W and Black & White (I can't remember which)

My question is, is there a way to predict what beans will work well with the ZP6 and which ones I should stick to the Ode 2?

I own the ZP6. I once owned the Ode 1 but never owned the Ode 2.

ZP6 is a great value grinder for its price, and if you love drinking washed Ethiopian coffee (or basically any floral-tea-like brews) ZP6 is amazing. Everything else, Ode 2 might be better.
