 GF system ligature

It seems like a Rovner with a Vandoren Optimum screw and a mouthpiece protector; I would think that it would be better but after reading some reviews, they seem to be equal. What do you think?

I would actually go so far as to say it is inferior to a Rovner ligature as the threaded parts will wear out a lot faster than the Rovner setup will. The whole marketing line about "symmetrical axial force" is written in the hopes that customers won't understand how reaction forces work. You will have the same tension on both sides of the joint no matter what kind of screw you use.
