My 200DX came in yesterday..

[undercut]

I replaced my snub nose, twist style with the old style clamp holder, and I think I paid a few dollars more at the LWS. I found that after a while the contacts on snub nose type would get sooty, and I would have problems striking an arc. You can't disassemble the snub nose to get at the main contact for cleaning, and it shouldn't be that much work anyways. With the clamp style, you can just squeeze the clamp and use a brush to clean it up real quick.

Cheers
Mike

I'm beginning to see why so many people don't like the twist style rod holder. There is definitely something to "Keep it simple". Anyone replace their stock ground clamp?
