Looks very nice for the price! Has anyone seen one in real life? It looks like the good old GTE...

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Not liking double handles I've got a 5000RE which I then equipped with GTE aluminium spools. The limited edition is just a standard RE with an extra spool and the double handle I think.

I will admit that the double handles look a bit odd, but they're very useful when legering with bobbins as they balance themselves out, unlike single handles which can turn themselves, meaning you have to keep adjusting the bobbin.

Yes, very true. I don't know why they just can't counterbalance the one handle though, as I find the extra handle is one more sticky outy thing not being used to get caught up with something (hmm, thinks about counterbalancing his handles :g: ).
