Keith,
I would say yes. The Kent has a mechanical feel and sound to it (which
isn't necessarily bad).
The Hex key is much quieter and smoother in operation. The Hex key of
course uses magnets
which gives it a totally different feel.
The flex on the arms is not a factor if you don't slap it around. If you
are heavy fisted, the Kent
may be a better choice. I have quite a selection of paddles both iambic
and single and my
favorite is a Brown Bros BTL-A but that's another story. ;>)

So, Tony, is the improvement going from Kent to the Hex key as great as
the improvement going from the BY-1 to the Kent?
