I’m running the bravo. They are about as small as I would want. They work well with a ropeman. I’m slowly swapping over to the bravos on everything. They are pretty inexpensive also.

This might be a dumb question, but is the key lock design as strong if the rope somehow applies pressure to the gate or if cross loaded? It seems the little hook on non-key lock 'biners might grab the gate a bit more (?). I did a little googling and didn't see where how the key lock prevents the gate from being hyperextended.
