Is anyone using the adjustable outhaul that comes with Loft sails? Good, bad, indifferent?

I have started to use the adjustable outhaul that came with my Blades and i would recommend that everyone should use an adjustable outhaul, you get so much more range out of your sails it's like having a gear box.
There are plenty of dedicated systems on the market with rollers and pulleys, the Blade kit is the first one that i have ever used and it seems to work well for what it is.

Choco, is the Blade adjustable outhaul the same as the one I got with my Lips? I have been thinking of trying it out on the Lips for competition sailing - I'm guessing they'd be ideal in the fluky winds we often get.

Easy to set up?

The adjustable outhaul is the same,very easy to setup just follow the instructions, it does help to have rollers in your boom end but i have used it on a boom without the rollers and it still works well but just takes a little more effort when using it.
Worth the time giving it a try once you got it setup it doen't take any longer to rig your sails.
