I'm going to get a BXA in a wedge soon. I happen to have some aloris and Yuasa holders

Wes,

I have an Armstrong piston-type BXA that I'm not attached to if you
don't have your heart set on a wedge type post. It seems to be a cut
above the imports. I compared it to an Aloris on my 10EE before I sold
it and didn't notice any real difference. The guy who bought the lathe
wanted the Aloris BXA, so that's gone.
