I started with El-Cheapo Hamilton Beach chrome one. I've come to pretty much the same conclusion as what seems to be the general consensus regarding aeration and ease of use, I find that it's not so hard on the liquids (which as I type this already sounds stupid). As an aside, is "bruising the ice" a thing? I've always heard it was when shaking but never did any in-depth research on it. I like the top down enough that I'd like a more robust one, it gets a lot of use. The Smuggler's Cove book has some recommendations in there - I won't spoil the surprise.
