OT: Begali Paddles

[W4JBB]

When I upgraded to Extra, I bought myself the Begali Adventure Mono to
go with my KX3. Needless to say, I have not been on *any* "Adventures"
with my KX3 - yet. Mostly just taking it with me to work and using it
during my lunch break.

I like the Begali paddle I have. Currently, I have it in the shack on
its magnetic base on a piece of steel I took from an old bent up Bencher
key. Eventually I'd like to put it with my KX3 *only* instead of moving
it back and forth.

I'm not a *great* CW operator and I'm definitely *not* QRQ. I putter
around 15 - 17WPM but I like nice CW tools. I'm looking to spend no more
than $300 and am wondering about the Begali Simplex (which can be had
for much less than $300). I have also looked at the N3ZN keys and they
are very nice too. I actually had a ZN6 at one point, but sold it.

Any thoughts?

Please, in the interest of the list, reply directly to my email address.

Joel - W4JBB

Thank you for all the responses. I got lots of them.

 From the responses, All-in-all, both keys are great. I actually got a
couple of offers to buy one or the other from a couple of people.
