I've been debating between getting Wild Country Xenon Lite, BD Oz or Mammut Moses biners and the deciding factor right now seems to be the lack of hooded gate on the Moses. Do you ever find the whole "gate opening due to rubbing on the rock" a problem? I have some Moses and Xenon Lites already and like them both otherwise. Moses weighs the least, Xenon the most...

You hit the nail on the head...no hooded gate! I personally can't stand non-hooded biners, yes they do open on the rock, like at anchor, etc...I run mostly Oz, and some Xenons. I really like them both. I think I got xenon's because Oz were out of stock once.
