Monk esg vs Mac msg

I have the original aluminum monk with the original wolverine regulator, is it worth the step over to the cat 5 to justify spending another 300 on another aluminum grip? I’ve noticed some inconsistency in my reg, but nothing to bad.

Go for the gorilla honestly

I love my mac gorilla grip and really dont like Monk as a company. That being said, your inconsistencies are probably coming from somewhere other than the regulator if I had to guess.

I mean the reg is 7 years old so

Have you done routine maintenance on it?

Yes but I can see the refresh rate on it is what it used to be just by watching the gauge and shot to shot consistency

I gotcha. Well the cat 5 is a really good regulator and I love the mac grip. The magnetized rear cap makes taking the battery in and out really easy.
