Marlin's doubler vs. Trail gear's doubler

Does anybody have a review for these? I didn't see one here and was surprised.

X2 very interested, I already have a top shift case and was wondering if one doubler was better than the other. I was leaning towards Marlin.

Good idea! I'd like some thoughts on the Inchworm adapter as well.

If their other products are indicative of these, then the Marlin case uses Koyo bearings and Trail Gear uses some type of Chinese special.

Not saying Trail Gear is bad, just simply relaying the correlation...

I can't say anything about Trail Gear, but I have a Marlin in my '85. It is well made and the instructions that came with it are very good, IMO. Marlin did it first and has been at it the longest and that means something to me.

Can't say anything about the TG, but I have had zero problems with my MC one, been wheeling it hard and DD'ing it for about 2 years now.

Yeah I thought I did some reading that the Marlin has a better seal on the bearings
