Default WLP820 Question.

I was planning on brewing a bock this weekend. I have a 2nd gen WLP 820 washed yeast from an oktoberfest brew on hand. Has anyone used this strain in a bock? Any thoughts on using this or should I opt for a better strain such as WLP833?

According to White Labs, 820 is perfectly appropriate for bocks....

I've used it for a maibock, and thought it was great.

I used it in a Bock last winter and I thought it was great too.
