Just fixed that typo so that Tigger can google the name! Wheaty should be familiar from Guitar Techniques.

I think you might be, authentic Gypsy picking is quite different to the styles used in rock. Troy Grady explains how, I'm sure you've seen that.
Check out all Denis Chang's stuff on YouTube, he's got videos with many of the major exponents of this style (and some other awesome players, too, you'll remember Ewan Dobson/Triforce).

Grady constantly references Gypsy technique all over the place, because it's an established "school". Downstrokes for new strings, as you say.
In Grady terms: Benson is a downward pickslanter, but the "odd" thing is the "edge picking", Benson attacks with the trailing edge of the pick first, i.e. the edge closest to the bridge. This makes his hand look twisted backwards. Shaun Lane, pre-Racer X Paul Gilbert, Mark McGuigan, etc. All trailing-edge pickers, as was Grady to begin with.
Steve Trovato is a beautiful player. Check out his REH video, so tasty. That's more country focused, though, not heard him in the Gypsy idiom, but there's a lot of crossover going on. Gary Potter is also a beast a country-sounding stuff.
