Brink vs Witter Detachable Swan Neck

Between 2 Manufacturers now.
The cost is around the same but just wondering what the 'masses' thinks.
What have you got and is one better than the other?
Cheers,

Can only comment on the Thule/Brink one now on the third Swan Neck, as I have had the well documented problem which I think has finally been sorted, (So far so good) if you get the Thule/Brink one it needs to have 215 stamped on the ball as this is the latest version. It will need a 3" square cut into the valance of the bumper but looks ok, you wouldn't notice it if it wasn't for the 12N/12S sockets (which you would have with the Witter one also) I have now changed to a 13pin so it is not so noticeable, where as the Witter one will not need the cut. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

My Witter bar did not need any cutting of the lower bumper. Looks very neat and works well.

Albeit 4 polls but Witter seems to be the better option.
