I lean to the Westwind because they have apparently answered my concerns for ease of use and adjustment.
The only thing I'm fearful about the Westwind is that it does have a number of removable parts --- without seeing, I could worry that there is a risk of decalibration.
BUT:
I think I read that Robert is an engineer, if not, he certainly communicates like one and he has convinced me of the integrity of his work.
What I do like is:
* replaceable beds for oboe, d'amore and E.H.
* mechanism to remove and replace the blade with minimal loss of calibration (if any)
* the height adjustment does not depend on a double-wedge
* simple construction to facilitate calibration yet capable of customization
* single or double radius gouging as desired.
I'm also sure that Robert would sell me 2-3 blades with different grind angles. On request.
The only other one that comes close is Forrest Music's own because of the fewer parts, but I have yet to be convinced of ease of adjustment and blade removal.... Westwind has a clear upper hand.
