    Griots Boss G15 verses Rupres LXR 15 ES verses Adams Swirl Killer 15MMLT

    I`m trying to decide which one to buy. I am particularly interested in fellow Autopians that have used both the Griot and Rupes

    Thanks in advance,

    We switched to exclusively Griot`s, I had one of the first rupes in the country. Excellent machine and lasted with a ton of use 4 years. I find the Griot`s to be smoother and more comfortable to use, I like the warranty and the fact they tell you and give you what you need to make the machine more aggressive. I do have a rupes I brid until Griot`s has one.

    I`ve heard some people returning it because it stalls too much.

    i waited and waited for the Flex version. But after a while, I ended up getting the Griots 15, and a Rupes 21 (the Flex wasn`t avail).

    Had a chance to try the Flex during Competition Ready filming, and am considering it as a future purchase.

    All are great machines. For me, comes down to cost and how comfortable I am with the machines.

    Coming down to cost, wouldn`t the Griot win out?

    if cost was the ONLY factor, a huge YES! Especially when things go on sale, or price matching, or etc....

    but i also said, "...cost [AND] how comfortable I am..."


    The grip in the G15 is pretty thick. My smaller hands prefer the grip of the Rupes, or the Megs MT300. I don`t recall the grip size of the Flex 15mm, but I do remember it being comfortable enough for me to consider it in the future. And, I`ve found a hand placement on the 3401 that makes it more comfortable on my grip hand (I lock the trigger and position my hand a bit further to the rear of the handle).

    Here`s some info/factors that I consider...

    Take into consideration Rupes has a factory in the U.S. That`s worth a few dollars to me.

    But ask them about washers and switching plates? The Griot`s warranty wins every time!
