A Brown Brothers paddle isn't really comparable to a Bencher (it's
much better IMHO, and feels almost as good as my Begali Simplex).
I've been concerned about the same thing, but maybe I'll give the
KXPD1 a try. At least it is a lot lighter than any of my other keys
(except the White Rook, which is more like a toy).

Hi, Tom
My KX1 is brand new. I didn't know if I'd like the KXPD1 either,
but I decided to give it a try. My usual paddle is an old Brown
Bros. iambic-- comparable to the Bencher. I use single lever
techniques (never quite got the hang of the "squeeze" techniques).
As I was assembling the KXPD1, I thought I was going to hate it.
It gives nothing back in terms of touch. Yet, when put it on the
air, I can send very well with it using the iambic mode B setting.
That's the proof for me. I'm happy with it!
