Ok they cost about the same and you can install them yourselves fairly easily.
Now, unless we have a neutral who has driven both, asking which one is best, IMHO, is pretty much a non-goer.
So then it really comes down to looks. I've done a quick search of the forum, but it doesn't show any piccies. I've seen the install one on Spyderchat, but these pictures are at a bit of an odd angle. So has anyone got any pictures from directly behind and above?
If the picture your refering to is the B&M it does lean a fair bit.
1st is a litte further over and neutral is where you'd expect 3rd to be.
Makes it a little odd looking but in operation it's fine, due to the close gate.
The only pic I have to hand right now is this one.... I will take a couple as you descibed in the morning.

The last being pretty much a copy of B&M...for less, apparently $69 (=£35).
