Greetings Wes!
You would lose absolutely nothing, but Al pretty much hit the nail right on the
head. Once you try the technique and use it on the flies where it is applicable,
you'll see and feel the difference! :-) I started on a Thompson B(not the A, but the
B...), then got a Regal 360(a rotary vise, but not "true rotary"), then Ed Story
talked me into going true rotary, and the rest as they say, is history. Now I still
tie some flies on the ol' Regal, but whenever I'm winding anything at all, body
material, ribbing, hackle, I now prefer the true rotary technique.
Happy Tying!
