Has anyone compared them - what are their pros and cons?

I'd primarily want to use it on my 1 11/16" nut D-28, but also have a 1 3/4" nut 512 that I guess it would be silly to not also take into account.

Hi Wb…

There are no cons, and the pros are great capo…

• Better seal on the string with less pitch distortion
• I can do full step bends and the string doesn't slip under the top armature
• Small area of string contact
• Lightweight, stainless frame which doesn't intrude on my fretting hand
• McKinney/Elliott button for instant release
• Proper build which has lasted for many years
