Hello folks,

I am just curious, here... it seems like a lot of the better semi-auto HXs use a small lever on the E61 group, rather than a button. Is that just an aesthetic choice, or is there a improvement in functionality, using a lever?

In particular, I recently pulled the trigger on an Expobar Pulser. The only differences between it and the Expobar Lever is that the latter has better styling, a boiler pressure gauge, and is lever controlled. I think that means that, functionally, it's identical to the Pulser... but I am uncertain about the lever aspect.

What's the effect?

Oops, found a great previous thread, here. I actually did do a search beforehand, and came up empty. This was listed in the handy "similar threads" bit, below. Sorry for the repeat!
