I don't really have anything to compare it to, so I won't comment on that (I do like how it works FWIW), but the main reasons I bought it, is because most reviews of it are favorable, it's inexpensive (for a finisher) and I could buy it locally. If I had to order it, I might have waited and got something else, but there's something satisfying about "Oh wait, I can just run out and pick one up? And it's cheap?!"
