Spire all the way for me; better all round package and as reliable as an Eclipse marker

Rotor or Spire?

Spire. Best loader on the market.
Rotor is too heavy - Spire is so much lighter, holds more and works flawlessly. However, the Spire NEEDS the spring ramp - shouldn't have to pay extra for it!
Pulse RDR - would avoid like the plague. Too many people with issues.

Companies have to make money WildWayz the spring ramp is a perfect money maker
If you're not already making plenty of money on a 9 volt motor, a pcb and 400 grams of plastic at £150 you're doing something wrong......
You're forgetting patent fees
When I was talking to the Virtue guys at PBE, they said there is even a patent for the size of the feedneck hole!As for the spring ramp thing Stoney - without it, the loader is unusable, in my opinion as you get way too many balls in the nose of the loader. When I went from a Rotor to a Spire, I almost returned the Spire for a refund due to this. Thankfully, the spring ramp just came out so I whacked it in there and all was good again
I don't mind extras being sold at all but I honestly feel the spring ramp is essential and should be stock.
Ah yes patents - although I'm sure if there really is one applying to the size of the feedneck hole it could be successfully challenged under prior examples, or whatever it's called, there was home made hoppers before comercial ones were available.
Aye
I think next year is when most of the stupid patents expire, but I doubt it will reduce the price of the products

As Customers of course we would want everything to come with it
but as a business man that's different
I do own the ramp, Next purchase 260 shell
