Both high end loaders, but what are the pros and cons of both? I now 98% of people now use the rotor, but has anyone dabbled into the Spire? I like the look of it. Any opinions on it?
Spire vs Rotor
- Thread starter Richiemonk
- Start date
I had a rotor for 2 years and just about could not fault it. Tool-less disassembly, quick to strip down, very rarely jammed, excellent battery life. The only problems I had with it were with it feeding reballs, and swapping lid/speed-feed around is a pain.
... Enter my Spire. Again, tool-less disassembly, even quicker to strip down than the rotor, hasn't jammed yet, good battery life but not quite as good as the Rotor (Rotor claims 50,000 balls on 3xAA, Spire claims 20,000 balls on 3xAA), feeds even dirty crappy reballs without issue and the speed you can swap lid for speed-feed is brilliant. I cannot fault my Spire so far.

Spire without question, everything Thorpe has said and more, lighter, holds a true 200, quieter, gentler on paint. The spire for me is like the rotor in that u just bang it on and forget about it. But it just never ever jams even with crap paint.
The amount of pro teams using these over rotors just enforces how good they are. I have long sold my rotor and don't miss it at all.

dont be fooled by what the pro teams are using..... they no doubt got them for free
