I like Addi circs because they're the only circs I've come across that don't
have cab;e that fight to curl up all the time, twisting and needing fiddling
with very few minutes. For me that's worth the extra. Maybe I'm just picky

I do not know if they are better than other brands, I do know that they
are much higher in price. I love them, and when one of mine broke, I did
send it back to Seattle and I got a new one back with a lovely card and a
smile. Even so, I would not buy one if I did not needed one or if I could
not afford it.

I think they are very good, and they stand behind their product, with very
good service.

LittleKnits (www.littleknits.com) has a #35 24" Addi for $12.

I ordered one. And some yarn.
