Belay devices

I picked up a figure 8 to learn how to use it, and use the gri-gri every now and again. Notice that my old ATC is no longer here:
Having just gotten my ATC-XP(which I really liked) I gave my ATC and an HB HMS autolock to Sabine as a going away gift. Then while Slug and Em and I were climbing, he decided to buy a harnass without a biner/belay device or shoes (much to my chagrin). Since he planned on keeping the harnass, I made a gift of a OP Jake autolock and my ATC-XP. Thinking I'd expand my understanding of belay devices made by companies other than BD I bought a Trango Jaws and a couple of AutoLocking Jakes (which I really like) to make up for the locking biners I'd given away. The jaws works fine, but I like the ATC-XP better, and have another on order.
