RE: stabilizer?
I have owned one of the LORE stabilizers and though it was of average performance for what is out there today in terms of noise and vibration reduction. I am not a big fan of the doinker style stablizers so I will reserve my comments on the further. For the money I think the Sims SCoil would be a better choice. If money isn't a major concern then the Sims Enhancer 2000 or modular would be my suggestion.
