davepjr, good point on the rotating head, I forgot that one. Wouldn't buy one without it.

I can't say I ever really had any issues w/my velcro hanging up. While it is a little noisy, I never really had it become an issue. But hey, that's why we have choices. Whichever we like best is what we have the option to do....as do you WesternMd. So, as we have all said, try different ones and see which one you like.

Oh, and I don't think any of us have mentioned the nylon strap attatchment you like. While it is good to keep the head tucked away, and out of the way. It is also silent and adjustable. However, the one thing about the all=thread through the tubing types is they are always held at the ready and takes much less movement to fasten to the string. Just a thought, but there are pro's and cons to each. See what works for you.
