Many times you want the paddles to be a slower speed so that you can repeat something for a fill.  In the ideal case, you might have two sets of paddles, one at your contest speed and one at a slower speed.   I have found that the CT keyer is not that smooth, but very handy when you are traveling and need to conserve on equipment.
