I have that compass and it is solid, one could do much worse than this one. For me I found Alan's website and he said I needed a beam compass and a winged compass, a pricker with loupe and a good ruling pen. So I went searching and I found a different beam set and I bought it, then I found the giant rotring set for cheap and bouught that and then I found a winged compass/beam set and bought that. Then I found other shiny sets and bought them. Then I had too many. so I had to sell some...then I bought more. I also was perturbed by the plastic gears on the rotring set and I couldn't find any information on the set and after much searching I found the drawing instrumet collector group. Now i'm seemgly trapped.....
You’re right, this compass is solid and one could do much worse. That makes two of us that are trapped - although lately I’ve been pretty good about getting rid of stuff.

@@jasonbrentpresley The hard part is to not follow up the "getting rid of" with some "obtaining more of...."
There are much worse addictions.
