I've been using my Magura for over three years and can't imagine the need for
such a device. Personally I would never use anything different, well of course
except on my drag bike which already has a cable and a potbox installed by the
previous owner. Still, when I look at how he has the potbox and springs
mounted it looks like a lot more trouble then the Magura. The Curtis Potboxs
do not have a good reputation for holding up well either. The pot that they
are built around is of questionable quality.
