Expensive great shock absorbing sling

The Yates Screamers are defacto standard and most common shock absorbing slings. The Petzl Nitro, I think, does a better job at absorbing shock by design. However, it is expensive and should be used to supplement your stash of Yates Screamers. The Nitro works great with ice screws on thin, weak ice. I've fallen hard a few times and the Nitro managed to allow the ice screws from popping out, in contrast to the Yates.
