I'm team Crane all the way. I have an Oi & don't care for it. The setup is finicky if you're using it with drops & have to work around cable routing. One single cable touching it will keep it from resonating & rotating it to avoid the cables can place the striker in a less than ideal position. The sound is also a pretty dull ring that I don't think is well suited for noisy bike paths.
