	All you Brass Pounders out there, please help!

	What type of keys/keyers/paddles do you like? I've been using
a J-38 straight key for years, and also an old Heathkit HD-1510 keyer.

	But now, having used a friend's Bencher for a few weeks, I'm
ready to look for a better key! Both the Bencher and the Vibroplex Iambic
look like fine choices, and both are about the same price. But each has
its strengths and weaknesses. I will eventually try both, side by side...
but until I can (there's no Vibroplex dealer in Austin) I would welcome
your comments and recommendations!
