I just got my hands on R-Type yesterday and ooooh man! With my limited, maybe honeymoon phase, I vote R-type. I think it’s down to a wider throw that doesn’t feel wide at all. Super solid on the string and like it’s big brother, IQ, easy to land everything. ---

Sorry I voted earlier but got distracted. R-type, I own the IQ. I love it. Plus I really like the colors YYF put together for the R-Type. It’s probably superficial, but I don’t care for much of the colors of the JDS Shutter. ---
