Default IMI versus MM Fab Riggers

Looking for a rigger to use on ASW 20. Have seen both brands in common use. The IMI seems to cost less. Would be interested in discussion of pros and cons of the two different makes.

I have not seen or used a MM-self rigger but I have used two IMI products so far.
Currently, I am using a IMI-self rigger for my Calif and it works great. I can put the outer wing panels on by myself (same length than a 'normal' 15m ship). The gas strut has become a bit weak but I can replace it w/o special tools. What I really like is the fact that the entire rigger breaks down into several pieces w/o the need for tools and can be stored flat in the trailer. Well designed and built.
