I am a fan of the CQC-8 and, of course, the Horseman which is really a Mini-8.
That being said, THE production Emerson to get is, as i stated in my precious post, the CQC-7.
Hoever, as much as I like my 8s, (Regular, Super or Mini) the CQC-10 is probably the best all-around user Emerson.
I had one for a week on a pass around and have to say, it is unfairly overlooked.
