If money is no object, why not get the extra 10% improvement?

Geisselles don't even stack up well against drop in triggers as a general use carbine trigger. You are paying somewhat for a battle proven name, also reliability. People are claiming the Larue 2 stage triggers are close for a fraction of the price ($80) the brownells g2s is also a good option on sale at $120. The GRF is also fun if you just want to GOFAST! However if you want the best bang for your buck for a crisp single stage, you have to go drop in.
All depends what you are trying to do.

If you don't have experience with 'improved' triggers - it's hard to compare, but my brother has a giessele single stage that is significantly lighter than mil spec and it breaks very cleanly. I prefer the Larue 2 stage. Both break significantly crisper and lighter than mil spec triggers.
I'd recommend getting a Larue trigger and comparing.
I'll take my E6X Loomis rods over any of Lami's lineup - though I do own two Lami rods right now
Ok, I'll throw some fuel onto the fire. My own worthless take on extreme high end gear: there are pool cues that retail for many thousands of dollars like the Mike Bender Smithsonian Edition cue for $60,000, yet here's a guy running a billiard table with a broom stick.
Here I was thinking about dropping $300 on a double edge safety razor..So I feel like I can tell the difference in weight and smoothness of a cheap parts kit trigger vs a $60 dollar BCM trigger like this: BCM® PNT Trigger Assembly AR15
But I can't imagine how much better a geissle (sp?) trigger could be that'd be worth an extra $200. Maybe competitive shooting? I'm not sure I could tell a difference in that jump...
School me on why it's worth the extra coin.
Your opinion - how is the LaRue 2 stage when you want to shoot quickly as you would a single stage?
I was looking at my rod lineup, and there are some definite trends. Anything I have to cast all day is a Loomis or St. Croix. Trolling/back bouncing/bottom fishing: Lamiglas.
I once drove a nail with a big rock, but I prefer a steel, finely manufactured hammer...but you that prefer the equivalent to rock/milspec triggers...ok, fine by me.
I use to drink house brand soft drinks too and convinced myself they were just as good as Coca-Cola, but way less pricey, mmmmmhhhhh, cheap tasting cola, yum....
Now what makes you think we wanna hear about Ditch Pickle rods ?Continuing the thread hijack - yep! I'm using the crap out of my wife's employee discount before we move in a few weeks getting the bass rods I want. I just snatched up a 7'1" crank bait rod and its like a feather. There's one rod left that I need to grab so I can throw big swim baits without fear of snapping a rod. My biggest disappointment - there are zero low profile baitcasters made in the US, so I'm opting for stuff made in Korea, Malaysia, or Japan over China.
good to know as i only have experience with single stage. ive shot a 2 stage and didnt like it nearly as much. single stager fo'life yo.There's definitely a point of diminishing returns when it comes to AR triggers. I've shot quite a few aftermarket triggers, currently I have a Geissele G2S (paid $110), a KE Arms DMR drop-in (paid $125), and a few LaRue MBT-2S's (paid $80 each).
Honestly, the LaRue MBT-2S's are the best value out there IMO and they're what I'm putting in all my AR's going forward. Are there better triggers? Absolutely! But in my experience you're spending an extra $100-$150 for what is maybe a 10% improvement.
Two things to note:
1) I don't have much experience with single-stage triggers, so this only applies to 2-stage.
2) I've heard the LaRue single stage is nowhere near as nice as the LaRue MBT-2S.
