Howdy Bob:

A couple years I bought a new March paddle from the maker at a hamfest.

I never could get it to adjust right in terms of spacing and holding the 
spacing.

The contacts did not mate up well and I was disappointed overall.

Much to his credit the maker gave me a full refund.

I have several Begali magnetic paddles and they are a joy to use....the 
machining is top notch...everything lines up and adjusts easily and properly 
and the paddles are soooo smooth in operation....not to mention that they 
look like pieces of fine jewelry (G).

These Begali magnetics are real keepers....I'll be holding onto mine.

                                       73, Joe W2KJ
