Akimbo2 or ISC Reflex

Going to get a mechanical device, trying to decide bewteen these 2. Which one would you guys pick? I would consider a rope runner too if its price was similar to the other 2 but its not.

i bought an akimbo2 last year and while i find it is beautiful it is a finicky device that constantly needs adjusting… went back to bulldogbones and hitch/wrench in most situations. sunshine, time and good mood and i play around with the akimbo.

the reflex looks very promising, i will wait a bit before jumping the train and also hope that they will bring out a version without the swivel.

There is a wear-in period on the Akimbo, IME. Idk about the A2.

Sorry what Does IME mean?

and i dont mind adjusting, i like fiddling with my gear actually. Ive heard alot of good stuff about the reflex tho. If i get the akimbo i will get it now but ill have to wait a while to get the reflex, mainly will be for SRT, i know you can DRT with akimbo but it isnt streamlined as the reflex would be.... Im sure i would be happy with either just trying to pick is tough.
