Depends on what you are looking for. For me the Baldwin gives more of the old fixed axle feel, while the Lovejoy plays almost like a bearing yoyo. Often, I have to bind the Lovejoy to get it to return.

I haven’t tried a Lovejoy yet, but I can tell you the Baldwin is not a long sleeping wood. It’s a pure delight but pretty light and well suited for stalls.
