I'd also vote for the defiant MPS mag heads - had some for a few years and decided I wanted a change (for no reason) so switched over to the Solar titanium heads on MCF bike chains.
After two uses I ordered another set of MK2 Mag heads as thought the Solar heads/line clips were trash - I won't be changing again as these do everything I want from a bobbin.

The arm type indicator is what I'm thinking to change to.

The esp barrels have served me well over the many years I've had them, I just keep finding my self wanting to change the weight of the bobbin more frequently than I like, with the sliding weight on the arm, this becomes a lot easier.

Do the defiant MPs warlocks come with a quick release for the carbon arm? It looks like it might and if so, that would be perfect since my alarms stay screwed on to my bank sticks and then sit on the outside of my thinking anglers bag

Yes you can have the quick release bracket left on the bankstick under the alarms, the hanger arm just pushes on to the bracket, takes 1 second

Would a fox mk2/micro swinger not meet your requirements?

with other hobbies, i have been known to become a brand fanboy, i try not to do that with tackle, just buy what ever is the best value for money.

I do try to stay away from Fox stuff though for a few reasons.
