[Elecraft] high end paddles

[Tony Morgan]

Keith,
I would say yes. The Kent has a mechanical feel and sound to it (which 
isn't necessarily bad).
The Hex key is much quieter and smoother in operation. The Hex key of 
course uses magnets
which gives it a totally different feel.
The flex on the arms is not a factor if you don't slap it around. If you 
are heavy fisted, the Kent
may be a better choice. I have quite a selection of paddles both iambic 
and single and my
favorite is a Brown Bros BTL-A but that's another story.  ;>)
