    Spektra X help...

    I am curious if anyone previously used no give rotaries like kubins or bishops and switched to using the spektra edge (no give version).
    I am going to purchase an edge today and I am not sure if I need the give version since all I run is the halo turned tight and the direkt everyday.

    For all of you that have the X could you do without the give and still rock with the edge nonetheless? Or are you using the give alot?

    If you never needed give before do you need it now? It might be one of those things where its fun in the beginning and then suddenly you are tightening things down again. I guess the question is spend an extra $50 or not. No give might make the machine less likely to want to be borrowed by colleagues if they are afraid of machines with no give.

    Spend the extra on the give. Better to have it and not use it then to need it and not have it... and its only 50 extra.

    I have the Direkt and EdgeX and I use them both for their specific differences. Lining and black and gray is easier for me with a slight give and have given me better results than just the Direkt alone

    i agree with what inkinwi says. it's only $50 so why take the chance on not getting what you ultimately want.
    i'll give my own personal review of the Edge X.
    Let me be clear this is only my opinion ..It does everything the Thunder does, but with a bit more noise.. not much more. The give adjustment doesn't go Super soft, but it works fine. I've found the best Disposable tubes to use are the RPG and the Welker from Eternal site. You can use the new Truetube grips also.
