If you're fine with the extra weight, finds the Jul 2 superior to the BD ATC-Pilot.

Finds the Jul 2 much beefier and heavier than a Mega Jul and expects it to last as long as their fingers can hold crimps.
Owns a regular Mega Jul while their girlfriend has a Jul 2; they both like the Jul 2 much more for lowering thanks to its curved front channel, which is gentler on the hand and thumb.
Still getting used to the Jul 2: lowering a heavier climber tends to block the device, giving slow stop-and-go lowers, though not dangerous.
Finds the Edelrid Jul² pays out slack more easily than their GRIGRI.
