My experience tells me that Vacumm cast plates, or capos that have been subjected to quite a bit of hardening like a rounded off rather wide U profile, while softer capos like a thin V shaped profile. When possible to employ, I personally like the latter best. Tho you will find plenty of differing opinion. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
