If I spend thousands of dollars on an acoustic guitar, $150 or so for a capo doesn't seem out of line. I play bluegrass; we (bluegrass guitarists) use capos extensively. Having been in jams and band situations where guitarists used other capos, I am firmly convinced that an Elliott is worth the money.
Like TW mentioned, you can bend strings while capo'ed, which is a huge deal for me. Also, I can slide the capo up and down the neck without needing to re-tune. It seems like guitarists using other capos are constantly re-tuning, which can be frustrating for an audience.
I have used a Paige in the past. they are just OK IMO. They have a tendency to slide around more; they just don't seat as well as the Elliott.
I really like the Mckinney; the push button adds nothing, IMO.
