Yes Dan posted this four months ago, but is it too late to change my vote from Provari to Zmax? If the question was 'Which one do you use the most and why?' the Zmax would win hands down. The Provari has sat nicely tucked away for the summer while the Zmax has been in my daily rotation and goes with every time I leave the house. Sure it's a beater and expendable, but it has also taken everything I have thrown at it in stride and just keeps firing. Still looks pretty darn good too, the black finish hardly shows any wear at all. I kinda wish Sigelei had made a 26 mm version to compete with the Seven-22 which is my big beater and is also still going strong. Both have been greasy, in the dirt, in the rain, bouncing and rolling across the floor... all stuff I don't want to do to the prized Provari. Wondering if mystique was overrated, while utility and compatibility were underrated when I voted. Just engaging in a bit of hindsight here plus giving thread a little bumperoo.
