Dandbuck, I just went from a fall away to a WB. Every rest has its pro/cons. Regarding your concern w/4" vanes. I read on a thread here that one guy puts a small amount of krazyglue on the very tip of his vanes & eliminates the vanes coming loose on the WB. If u want to switch vanes, the 2" Blazers are recommended. I have those on my Easton Axis ST's. On the WB website, they recommend swiping some arrows w/silicone to quiet them down. Go to their website, it may answer some of your questions. No doubt that the WB has great arrow containment. I 2 went from a 2-prong, to fall-away, to a WB. I am 1 of those people that likes to constantly look in2 new innovations for archery. Sometimes these improvements work/sometimes they don't. Don't know unless u try. I read a lot of the threads here, & am willing to try out a product, as long as it's reasonable. Currently I will be adding a custon css made by MeanV. I read some very positive reviews on some threads & hopefully it will improve my bow.
