Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft Hexkey Question

Hello fellow listers.  Here I am once again soliciting opinions.  So 
far, the advice received from this reflector has been 100% helpful. 
Thanks everyone!

I operated a "real" N2DAN Mercury key at W1AW.  It was really something. 
I've heard that Bencher's version (at around $600) is "almost" as good. 
I've also heard that the Elecraft Hexkey has "the same feel as the 
Bencher Mercury" (from eHAM reviews) and represents good value for the 
money.

There's quite a difference between $200 and $600 so I'm trying to 
understand what the extra $$$ might return with regard to performance.

100% of my operating is CW and 95% of that is at 18 - 22 wpm which is a 
nice, comfortable, copy-in-my-head ragchew speed - and I'm a slapper. 
My present paddle is a Scheunemann-Morsetasten SP-1  (single lever and 
springs).

Thanks,
