Which facuet: rototap or Perlick 650SS?

[MikeFallopian]

I picked up some rototaps, which have flow control, for my kegerator project a while back. These are the European-style taps with a thin spout: http://www.divinity-systems.com/euro_rotary_beer_faucet_p/4933roto.htm Very common in Belgium.

However, the shanks attached were too short for my fridge door, and it looked as if replacements would not fit this particular tap (good draft equipment is hard to come by in the UK, unless you're in the trade). I had one of those standard non-forward sealing taps lying around so I ordered a Perlick 650SS with flow control and a couple of shanks with the intent to have one standard US tap and a Perlick on my kegerator.

Typically, it turns out that the shanks fit the rototaps! So, I'm looking for advice on which are better: the rototap or the Perlick 650SS? Which give the best pour?

I know that the standard US tap I have is a bit unreliable, in terms of getting stuck, etc. I only have room for two kegs in my fridge, but do different taps suit different beer styles? Would it be worth mounting two rototaps and one Perlick on my fridge?

Thanks in advance!

I like those Rototaps!

Not familiar with them, but the Belgians seem to have good luck with beer.........

Yeah, they look cool!

The Perlick seems pretty good as well - anyone have experience of using both? Any differences/similarities?

Unknown to me, as I am still in the "cobra tap" mode, but most on the board here swear by the Perlicks!
