Did anyone ever buy and try out the Grizzly chuck?

For those that have used them, are any of these chucks any better or worse than the others? Which one offers the most functionality for the dollars?

The chucks I have are a Vicmarc and a Super Nova which while being very good chucks are a little high in price. In your consideration make sure the jaws move via a key and not tommy bars. Make sure there is a variety of jaws available. My personal preference is for replaceible inserts so I can still use the chucks if I get a lathe with a different spindle thread.

P.S. I just ordered the Grizzly chuck so I'll let you know how it works[]
