Any love for Gascogne still in the community?

Recently got the Gascogne for Gxp and wow I'm absolutely loving it. I know it's an old ship from wows perspective that had a recent buff but wow I've broken 200k a few times now which is good for me and averaging 1800 xp after 36 games. I love French ships so thought I'd give it a go but honestly wasn't expecting much. AP and HE slap and feels so accurate. Was a toss up between that and champagne. Anyone else still take her out? I haven't seen many around. Also for anyone with champagne as well how do you think they compare?
