We tried the Speedwolf from Amazon and it was awful. We wasted days/weeks trying to figure out our problems. Tons of people have had good luck with various $1000 ones, but not us.
We won't spend the money on a $1000 splicer from Amazon when we can spend $3000 for a Sumitomo. Not only does it work more reliably, having the pucks make work so much easier.
