Glad to hear so many good comments on the REO. Just took the plunge myself and ordered one last week. Got broken in to the whole bottom-feeder thing with a VModXL. Unfortunately, the plastic assembly broke last week! Fortunately, they said they would honor the warranty - even with the obscene amount of epoxy that my better half used to try and fix it. However, that said, it certainly made me realize that bottom-feeders are the way to go for me. I just want something that works simple and simply works, you know? Anyway, decided it was time to push the button on a Reo Grand. Can hardly wait now! For now, I'm back to my Twists and Kangers to get me by until my VMod replacement part and REO get here.
To the OP, if you are not interested in a bottom-feeder, I certainly recommend the Twists for price and efficiency. Dang ... now I'm going to have to go back and see if that's what you said you had in the first place! I can remember the 'Ego' part ... just not the rest!
Got me a Reo mini and a Reo Grand VV. Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Reo mini 2.0 with an Evolv Kick....
