I also have Renzetti Traveler for about 5 yrs now; love it. With all fairness, I only used some other cheap one before this one, so I dont have much to compare, but so far did not feel the need to upgrade from Renzetti T. If You are going to Somerset show You will see great variety there, including the Griffins You mention, and there maybe some guys using them at the show, so You can probably get some feedback.
