MOT Groove Gambit vs MOT Groove Snake

Both are MOT Grooves, the favourite rotational mechanical in the collection, so this comes down to design and what you can find in stock. The advice from both videos is the same: buy at launch from a retailer and do not overpay later.

MOT Groove Gambit

This is a collector's piece and priced like one. The video covers the revisions over earlier Groove models, including parts that feel better made and help stop you overtightening the screws, which used to stiffen the action. The verdict is simple: beautiful, well revised, and likely to sell out fast.

MOT Groove Snake

The MOT Groove is called one of the best rotational sliders made, and possibly the first. The video is honest about cost: this one was $575, prices climb as stock runs low, and the advice is to buy from a retailer at launch and not to overpay on the aftermarket. Cheaper stainless steel versions still turn up.
