Ahh, I stand corrected. Guess you have figured out that I'm not an engineer. I love the side button on the woods too. No one asked, but I'm voting for the side button on the mechanical woods. Thank you.
I was leery at first about taking my woods outside the house, but discovered that they hold up really well. I do take at least one metal Reo with me for fairly primitive camping and the like, but woods at still in attendance there. I do it because I absolutely love the feel of them in my hand and also to show them off. I don't think I ever leave home without one. With 7 Woodvils and 2 metal Reos (soon to be 3 with purchase of metal 18490, I hope), I have to listen to all of them clamor to go out when I do. They're a rowdy group.
Agree, don't even own any metal REOs anymore ....... just 4 woodvils and they do everything with me
I think they take a beating better than the metal ones do ......
My metal ones looked beat up after just a few months of normal (for me) use ...... But my Cocobolo woodvil that has been used out and about the most still looks brand new .... not a nick or scratch on it. Someone show me a metal REO thats been used hard for two years that doesn't have a scratch
FWIW, I am completely in love with the side button. If you were to take a poll, my vote would be for side. However, whatever causes YOU the least amount of hassle trumps personal preference.

i like both buttons! i'm so used to the top button on my minis, that i had to learn how to hold my woodvils differently.i like the smoothness of the mini woodvils button compared to the clicky of the woodvil 18650.
I agree on the smoothness of the mini woodvil button versus the clicky, but still........as long as I acquire one, I am stoked!
Hey... we only live once. Live a little! If taking it out of the house makes you feel better than why deny the simple pleasures!!!!
I had a beautiful classic Triumph motorcycle in perfect condition that I kept covered in my garage and used occasionally. I then sold it on ebay last year to a guy in New Zealand of all places! He sent me pictures after he got it.Now I look back and kick myself for not riding and enjoying it. I decided that I'm going to use my woodie as a daily driver and not a trailor queen!!!

I agree, I've been carrying mine since I got it. never understood not using something to protect it, certainly don't get your moneys worth that way no mater what it is
The side button is technically doable in mechanical, but part of the beauty of a Grand is the elegant simplicity of design providing easy maintenance and repair. The side button would add complication to the design. I would prefer robust simplicity.
Got my Molehill Mountain Art Purpleheart/Maple tip in, and thought I'd show it off inside and out. Depending how you hold it and the angle the light hits it, it's either really light, or it's really dark, to match the Woodvil exactly!
For some reason, the camera is having a hard time focusing on the tip becaue of the lines.

Very nice!!
I can't let my lady see this or she will want one for her Purple heart#85!! I'll be feeding paypal again!
The side button could actually be the simplest setup. No battery arcing could be a good thing. Some good metal on metal contact of the same metal could drastically reduce oxidation.
Maybe later I can draw I pic but in the end it's irrelavent as I'm sure Rob has ideas and we all know he can make it work.I don't know what he just said, but.....yeah, what he said!

I take a metal Reo along with a Woodvil or 2 for risky activities because they are relatively easy to replace since Robert has them on his site most if not all of the time now (although the true Mini in the 14500 size isn't there, but I might be able to get one). The woods are art - true one of a kind items that are so labor intensive for him. I risk them by taking them one and about, but I wouldn't do a really risky activity with them. But, then again, they hate having to wait in the car and give me grief when I return. Metal Reos are like puppies, just glad to be along. Woodvils, on the other hand, have attitude.
Had a great day with my Woodvil but a deal is a deal so it's being safely tuck in it's jammys till I get better. Once that day comes it will like its brand new again.
