+1, although I think the reason no mecanums are on einstein is partially because of their very limited usage and availability. We'll see mecanums on einstein in several years probably with Vex mecanums and other suppliers that might come around.

Anyway, I like the WCP shifters because they are all CNC'd and nice and hold 3 cims without problem. The Vex ballshifters are nice, but to me they don't offer as much the WCP shifters do due to weight and size. However, on a budget I would take Vex every time.
If 192 ever sells their gearboxes I would jump on those like nobody. Those weigh half as much as a WCP equivalent.
