Begali, bygolly. Which one> Simplex or Mag Classic?

gwwhatley@juno.com
I'm sold on Begali keys.  But not sure which one to get.  Has anyone used both the Simplex and Magnetic Classic who might comment on the comparison?  Also, how about a Begali vs Schurr Profi comparo?  If I had more dough, I would order all three, but that is not the case here.
 
I have a Bencher and a homebrew I made in 1963.  I seem to make slightly fewer errors on the homebrew than the Bencher.  They both work well,  and I am not knocking the Bencher, but I suspect the Begalis are superior to both .
 
Comments would be very welcome.
 
Thanks, George, n4ym

I've tried both.  They feel different; the Begali is a little stiffer
because the pivot is closer to the fingerpieces and the fingerpieces are
alloy as opposed to plastic, but they are both excellent keys.  It's
entirely a matter of personal preference.  I personally prefer one to
the other, but I won't say which because that's just me! :-)

I am a single lever paddle nut so have the Begali single lever simplex.  It
is fantastic although I wish it used the magnetic tension adjustment.  The
spring adjustments are super fine; it just seems more 21st century to be
using magnetic.  hi

Begali single lever is my favorite amongst single levers like Profi, Kent,
Ten-Tec Vibroplex, Mon-Key, Jones, G4ZPY and the Ukraine CT Single Lever.

If it's a question of single vs. dual lever, pick your choice and then if it
is a question of money, get the cheapest.  You won't go wrong with a Begali.
I hate I missed his booth at Dayton 2006.
