[Elecraft] Which Heil Prosets should we carry?

I own the following Heil models:
* Pro Set Plus
* Pro Set QuietPhone
* Traveler Dual Side

I used to also own the Traveler Single Side phones but
sold them as they were very uncomfortable.

If you were to carry two models, I would suggest the 
1. Traveler Dual Side -- for portable operator use, and
2. Pro Set QuietPhone -- for serious fixed operation

I also like my Pro Set Plus unit but find the noise canceling
feature of the QuietPhone very helpful both at home and on
DXpeditions. Also, the QuietPhone is more comfortable on 
the head and ears during those long hours. For a few dollars
more you get a much better feeling headset, with noise
cancellation, and a good mic.

I first used one of these QuietPhones at K1TTT's station
for the ARRL DX contest. Within 5 minutes I knew I had
to order a set for myself. They were that much better than
my Pro Set Plus (IMHO).

For those times you don't want to carry the big heavy headsets
the Traveler Dual Side is my choice. They are comfortable when
working outside in the heat and perform well (both on the ears
and at the mic). 

There will not likely be any consensus here (on anything!), but
my vote would be those two "higher-end" of the Heil offerings.

My 2-cents. Refunds upon request.
