Which Chess Clock?

Sort:

I'm going to link two tournament chess sets from USCFsales.com for you to look at. I previously owned the Delux Saitek combo but had to sell it when things got rough around the holidays. Before I buy it back today I wanted to know if I should buy the Delux Game Time II set instead as it says that the clock that comes with it is the "official clock of the USCF". The set with the official clock is also a few bucks cheaper. 

Which one would you rather have? The only difference is the clock.

So - Game Time II or Delux Saitek? And is the clock that comes with the Game Time II really the official tournament clock of the USCF? 

Thanks

Just another shameless bump. Anyone who knows about these things: I would really appreciate some input. I want to place the order this morning. 

Thanks

Nobody can even comment on this?

Not really an expert but I prefer the Deluxe Game Time II over the SaitekSmile

Cool. Thanks for the response Cool

I know nothing about either one... but the Game Time II one looks neater. The other one, despite being blue, looks a bit clunky in comparison.

Neither of which means much in the real world though, as I am sure they both do the same job! Smile

The Game Time II does indeed look more professional to me. I had the Saitek before and it is slightly toyish looking. 

Game Time II it is then. Thanks for the input, guys.
