I have a couple of Elliotts. I find the wrap around saddle version is superior by far. Regardless of the guitar neck shape, it tightens much more naturally, without working it and fiddling it into place.
I am in Canada and I did get hit with high shipping costs on this item. $32.00 as I recall plus taxes - and that was yeas ago. I remember it was outlandish. But within the U.S. that may not be an issue.
I do like the cappos.
I also have the other - the fatter one pictured above for $50 also. The bar is a little wider - the section where it makes contact. I have never truly tested the resulting tonal differences from a technical perspective, but I don't care for it as much. The Elliot has a narrower metal strip, as opposed to the slightly wider strip. I prefer the Elliots.
