I've got two of them. An MBR and a JWR. Neither have caused me any issues.

Big improvement over their NRX reel seats.

I started a thread about this a while back. The new seat just seemed shorter...or more compact if you will. I'm used to it now; I just roll with two fingers behind the trigger instead of just one. Sold my two old 844's to swap for '16's to keep my lineup congruent.
