If you had the opp, would you buy SLs with a double loop?

I like the long stems do not like the double loops.  The double loop just seems to add more cluter.  If I want to extend I use a draw.  I do know people that like that trouble some extra loop.

yes.....I'd rather have the regular length with single loop. If the unit needs a sling, I dont see a longer cable fixing that.

Squiddo, keep in mind the longer stem is not a substitute for the sling. the longer stem leaves the trigger further outside say a deeply placed cam head so that it is easier to pull the piece?

I have one double slinged version, and it sometimes replaces the need for a draw, but most often I find the extra sling just makes a draw that much more perfect for rope management. Often a single draw is not enough and a shoulder length is overlength.
