I use both these quicksilvers with the strait/bent gates, as well as wiregate draws. To me, the differences are subtle. Your ability to clip a bolt or the rope when lead climbing has a lot to do with your familiarity with the draw and your personally dexterit. I really like the bent gate when clipping the rope, that is a big positive. If you are looking to get your first set of draws, this is a great pack to get your rack started.
