[Elecraft] Single or dual paddle??

There is nothing hard about adjusting close contact spacing
on the Simplex Mono.  I have one and it is a joy to use.
I also use dual lever paddles but not for squeeze, so anyone
who uses a dual paddle and doesn't squeeze will have no trouble
using a single lever paddle.  Less errors, too, probably.

I'm looking at Begali paddles.  I'm used to dual paddles (Bencher, etc), but 
never use the iambic feature, and don't intend to in the future.    I have 
never used a single paddle, and wonder if it would be very different from a 
dual??  Is the single more conducive to making sending errors?  (I make too 
many with a dual)

One guy on eham said it was hard to get the Simplex tuned in just right. He 
said it was  because he uses very close contact spacing.   Anyone out there 
who has used a Simplex single and care to comment?

Tnx, George, n4ym
